every day there's a thread about this topic and the discussions always circle around the same arguments.
I think we should be worrying about more urgent things, like a worker doing the job of three people with ai agents, the mental load that comes with that, how much of the disruption caused by ai will disproportionately benefit owners rather than employees, and so on.
- northfield27 8mo agoAgreed but sadly, many people are too optimistic with AI and are completely forgetting that they can be the part of next layoffs. And others are not able to believe the (not extreme) but visible speed boost from pragmatic use of AI. And sadly, whenever the discussion about the collective financial disadvantage of AI to software engineers will start and wherever it goes… The owners and employers will always make the profits.
