I dont think it really matters if your or I or regular people are ok with it if the people with power are. There doesnt seem to be much any of us regular folks can do to stop it, especially as Ai eliminates more and more jobs thus further reducing the economic power of everyday people


I disagree. There are personal decisions to make:

Do you bet on keeping your technical skills sharpened, or stop and focus on product work and AI usage?

Do you work for companies that go full AI or try to find one that stays “manual”?

What advice do you offer as a technical lead when asked?

Leadership ignoring technical advice is nothing new, but there is still value in figuring out those questions.


> What advice do you offer as a technical lead when asked

Learn to shoot a gun and grow your own food, that's my advice as a technical lead right now


Have you read Ready Player 1 or watched the Matrix?

Man I hope they expose the tiling functionality so software like Yabai can hook in and make it automatic.


800 million dollar studio expansion halted - https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2024/feb/23/tyler-per...


Thank god! Enough Medea, already! I chalk this up as a win for humanity.


Sure, but think about all of the jobs that won't exist because this studio isn't being expanded, well beyond just whatever shows stop being produced. Construction, manufacturing, etc.

Edit: Also this doesn't mean less medea, just less actual humans getting paid to make medea or work adjacent jobs


Not like there's nothing else to construct.

Maybe it's time to construct some (high[er] density) housing where people want to live? No? Okay, then maybe next decade ... but then let's construct transport for them so they can get to work, how about some new subway lines? Ah, okay, not that either.

Then I guess the only thing remains to construct is all the factories that will be built as companies decouple from China.


I think it's still pretty rough, but seems to be actively worked on and close to what you're talking about. It doesnt completely abandon text, but it has a neat dual representation. I didn't see it mentioned yet so I'll drop it here - https://enso.org/
