Bunch of software engineers are worried about their future employment prospects.

IMO it’s best to just stop worrying and embrace it as the end of days for the field.

These are the last good ol’ days you will have before it’s all over. Worrying about it won’t change the future. Just try to focus on all the good AI does.

A lot of us spent substantial parts of our careers automating other folks out of jobs. But now that it's come for us, we're upset.

  • filmmakers have the most to gain here, now anyone with a good idea for a story can just prompt out their own full length movie or tv show.

    • Before AI: 90% of everything was crap

      After AI: 99% of everything is crap

      ... but there will be >10x more of it, so we'll ultimately end up with more good stuff.
