@fogti @52fighters Oh, I'm deep in work where AI is being pulled in, suggested to replace people, where we deal with AI outputs, etc.

The economic uncertainty is real but I'm specifically reacting to 1. people literally comparing it to slavery, which I ridicule, because it is ridiculous, 2. all of the "doing it by hand builds character" takes, like yes, everything else from arithmetic to spelling you should learn manually first but you should then also learn the automation and use it where it makes sense (Linus is right in that e.g. bugfinding is dramatically improved), and 3. I have an almond milk jug in my fridge that consumed more water than probably a lifetime of ChatGPT will, and I've seen a billion newly-concerned-about-water-usage takes that never mention this since they are 100% a moral panic that is 100% just the luddite meme.
