Well as long as we keep churning out more coders and more code, it will! Automatically. Just by definition.

We're buffering some of that explosion & redirecting a lot of that complexity potential by evolving a relatively harmless "JS frameworks all the way down" song-and-dance. Turns out we don't need Basic Income, we can just have unlimited middlemen ("the service economy") multiply a single GDP-growing transaction into infinite GDP-growing transactions, and have infinite "creatives" each add their own unique superfluous additions of bits & bytes to infinite new numbers of "products & services". Who cares about "economical", prudent, frugal, there's too many pensions to save and nothing else can as credibly inflate into infinity as the digital "industries". Crikey, I'm railing off track here.

Ever more complexity, thus ever more fragility, ever more reproduction. Has been the name of the game since the coal age. Would have to happen this way with any brainy species ending up at the top of the foodchain sooner or later. Once you eat up your prey animals and go "civilized", the direction is irreversably set. But hey, Elon is gonna blow us into space so the future is as bright as the night sky :D
