> You're next. Enjoy the breadline. This isn’t any different than stable boys demanding auto sales be banned. Get a different job. Progress has replaced stupid

  It is, because the scale and scope of the replacement is larger than previous iterations. It isnt a single automated task. It's arts, it's programming, medicine, teaching, driving, advertising.

    But none of those things have been successfully automated at scale. Waymo has been at it for how many years and still isn’t in more than a handful of metros. The scale of the FUD is large, but so far the impact has been very minor.

  Repetitive work like writing code?

    Yes, you’re going to quickly realize that the current tools only spit out boilerplate or require so much prompting and interaction that you need to be a software engineer anyway. I’m 100% for automation of actual coding. I don’t see it happening any time soon though

  in the days where, as the boomers say, you could "walk in and give a firm handshake" to switch careers, it makes sense. In this hellscape of "automated recuiting", ghost jobs, degree requirements (of which school is also a 6 figure investment), and a minimum wage far below a miniumum wage? Yeah, no. Easier to fight. I can at least get some damage done even if losing is inevitable. I won't just sit quietly and accept what corporations want.
