AI has already had a profound disruption on jobs. Many of the workers who helped power San Francisco's last boom are struggling to find their place in this one.
I actually love AI. And though I would never celebrate people losing their jobs, the tech people who are suddenly worried about their jobs are no more special than the rest of us who always had to worry about job loss. It’s life, it happens. Sure it sucks, but software engineers have had it really good for a really long time.
Now they can find out what it’s like for the rest of us non-tech people that ALWAYS had to adapt and pivot during layoffs.
I get tired of the “it’s slop!” comments on Lemmy, because I fucking know that most of Lemmys are using AI on their jobs anyway. The hypocrisy on here, usually for the dopamine hit of an up arrow, is annoying af.
