If agent did all the technical work of sending a rocket to the moon, and all that was left for me was deciding whether a rocket to the moon should be built or one to mars, which is better for our “customers” and I actually enjoyed that then I would be honest and say I was never into technology, which is completely fine, majority of humanity isn’t into it.
I don’t need to see why you feel the desperate need to larp as a technologist when you’re happy with letting an agent solve all the technical problems.
You only think it is rude because you have tied your identity to being a technologist when you are not, I’m just saying it like it is.
> I don’t need to see why you feel the desperate need to larp as a technologist when you’re happy with letting an agent solve all the technical problems.
This is a false comparison. Agents cannot solve all the technical problems, so the entire statement falls apart.
What techical problems agent can't solve exactly?
agents are very very far from being able to send rockets to the moon just because you prompt them to.
You’re overlooking that the point of technology- and technologists- is to ultimately serve customers. The pleasure is incidental.
The point of technology is to make people’s lives better.
Out of curiosity, when you take a bite of a burger do you call it a product?
When you watch a movie do you call it content?
What you and I are saying is synonymous. I’m simply reusing language that the post I’m responding to used. And also de-glamorizing/de-romanticizing things a bit, sure.
And given that fast food is the pinnacle of sustenance as a product and Hollywood has been content-brained since 1977, sure!
