The people I agree most with on the likely technical trajectory of "AI" tend to trend much more blackpilled than me on societal implications, and I don't really know what to do about that.
Like, it's bad, yeah, but anything that can't go on will stop. And if every decent software developer (used in the broadest possible sense), to take recent example, preemptively leaves the industry, who will be there to right the ship or rebuild, when the {hype,financial} bubble pops?
Conversely, am I saying the developers should break themselves upon the rocks that are the current, common "AI" adoption stance in most companies? No, I'm saying decent developers should find ways to start building resilient, resistant organizations now.
I'm in one. We are not pushing "AI" adoption. We are doing fine. We have many customees apprecisting the things we do, which no LLM could do. The work still exists, let's build a foundation for the future there.
This too shall pass, and then what…?
