I think his point was that we no longer have to write operating systems, because they've already been developed the hell out of.
This is not to say that I agree with him. I think AI in particular still has a long ways to go before even approaching interest saturation.

Neil McBride says computer science was populated by mathematicians and physicists but now virtual robots can be created by eight-year olds without needing programming, logic or discrete mathematics skills. Does that mean we have a dying discipline?
The 8 year olds create those robots with some program, that program is coded by some programmer.

The 8 year olds, also known as script kiddies, just use shit knowledgeable people created, indeed. They don't know jack shit. Because of this, you don't need to worry: there will always be a place for people who know. Even if it's to build tools so that useless people would be able to do something.

the problem with that is that all current operating systems suck.
