Sure but here OP was left wondering why prompting didn't make them feel like they had done/accomplished anything. And the reason is because they didn't do anything worthy of giving them a feeling of accomplishment.

That's because it's like summiting a mountain by taking a skilift to the top. You don't really need to put in the work and anyone can do it.

I just told my gardener to cut the grass and work on some flower installations. I'm so excited about gardening again. Can't wait to do some. Employing a gardener to do my gardening for me is really making me enjoy gardening again!

They're going to turn this into a double dip model where the client and the freelancer both pay them. If you think the labor market is tough now, just wait until if/when the claims AI aficionados come to fruition.

What terrifies me is the total and utter potential disruption to our economies in a very rapid order. Software is just a proxy for the thing that we want which is data. The same way an electric drill is a proxy to a hole. Since it's im

They are the useful idiots buying into the hype thinking they by some magic they get to keep their jobs and their incomes. This things is going to erase careers and render skills sets and knowledge cultivated over decades worthless. Anyon

The downside is that whatever you (Claude) can do so can anyone else too. So you're welcome to make the 100000000th Copy of the same thing that nobody cares about anymore.

Unfortunately you aren't a high velocity builder. The velocity curve has now shifted and everyone having Claude blast out loc after loc is now a high velocity builder. And when everyone is a high velocity builder...nobody is.

I feel the same. And I expect even a lot of the early adopters and AI enthusiasts are going to find themselves as the short end of the stick sooner than later. "Oops I automated myself out a job".

Exactly this. Even if right now you, bottom level wage earning grunt, get to lighten your workload for a fleeting second, sit back and enjoy the latte it's only but a fleeting second until the capital class tighten the screws. Most peo

"It’s not that you could cut the combined complexity in half, but more likely that you could bring it down to at least one-tenth of what it is today, if not even better. It would function better, be more reliable, and would be far more

This is exactly what I said in the end. Right now you rely on it fucking things up. What happens to you when the AI no longer fucks things up? Sorry to say, but your position is no longer needed.

It's not about the tooling it's about the reasoning. An architect copy pasting existing blueprints is still in charge and has to decide what the copy paste and where. Same as programmer slapping a bunch of code together, plumbing

Does this extend to the ones pushed into the gig economy working 16h a week every day without holidays or sick leaves or anything really. No? Didn't think so really. Even the literal slaves in the 1800 century had housing.

Your boss just called. They're replacing you with someone cheaper who is also able to prompt for half the price.

Some people seem to think that the capital owning class is somehow going to grow a conscious and start sharing their wealth with the common folks. Let's be real that has never happened willingly only by force and bloodshed have the w

Most people in this econonic system have to work to earn a wage in order to pay for their living. That combined with large swathes of people being made redundant and not able to earn said wage is gonna be a problem.

Also the way QE works is that the rich companies and individuals are the ones who can take out large loans against their previous economic assets as collateral and leverage that money in the market such as the AI bubble. They also are the f

The point of the story really was that most rich people, those who don't work for a living but live off of capital assets are in a position of economic power where their wealth accumulates. When the real economy grows a few percent per
