I hope that’s sarcasm or that I’m misunderstanding what you mean. Have you looked at the front-page of HN? At the new submissions? Social media? Newspapers? YouTube videos? It’s bonkers to me anyone could claim with any degree of seriousness that we’re not talking about this enough. We’re talking about it too much.

But the change that's happening now to our field is profound. It sucks that the conversation we're having on HN is a debate between AI maximalists and the "clanker" people, rather than e.g. reconsidering Raskin's Humane Interface in light of what we can see computers will be like in 10 years.
- tuesdaynight 2mo agoYou are at a better position to start these debates about HCI and other things, and you should do it. Most people are financially tied to their fields. I believe you are at a different stage of your career, so you are in a position to think about it without worrying about putting food on the table. I believe that automation of work being something so scary is a very sad thing, but it is how our current system works.
