I joined the Oxide and Friends annual predictions podcast episode this week - here are my 1, 3 and 6 year predictions for AI and LLMs (and Kākāpō parrots) https://simonwillison.net/2026/Jan/8/llm-predictions-for-2026/

1 year: It will become undeniable that LLMs write good code
1 year: We’re finally going to solve sandboxing
1 year: A “Challenger disaster” for coding agent security
1 year: Kākāpō parrots will have an outstanding breeding season
3 years: the coding agents Jevons paradox for software engineering will resolve, one way or the other
3 years: Someone will build a new browser using mainly AI-assisted coding and it won’t even be a surprise
6 years: Typing code by hand will go the way of punch cards
