I am a luddite as well, and didn't used to be. On the one hand, "working in tech" became so accessible that titles like "prompt engineer" don't sound completely ridiculous. Those people don't seem interested in understanding how technology works, but rather in making profit with whatever low-hanging fruit they find. On the other hand, actually competent engineers get paid a ton to ignore any kind of ethics. They just get rich while having fun building tech that the first group will use. The combination of both (unethical tech and not-so-competent "engineers" building on top of it) is destroying the world. > The biggest differences are the increased probability that someone else will now be using your code and that you won't be accredited or your GPL license will be violated, but I consider those pretty ethereal issues. Because you don't care about Free Software. I do.
