I get less concerned about LLMs taking or jobs by the day, and more convinced they’ve already taken away our internet.
There was a time of BBS and text based systems where only genuine humans could participate, and a lusty lady on mIRC was at worst some dude pretending. Now I’m half a page into HN posts and realizing I have yet again been duped into losing some life to some jagoffs lying bot and work is just as bad.
The constant drip-drip of what’s-the-point makes the whole thing seem performative and hostile.
