#aianxiety

Continued thread

To sum up my first experience with #aianxiety, I’m not anxious for myself. I’ll be safe, my experience will be necessary to judge when the #ai is being stupid.

I will retire comfortably, I think. But the kind of tech sector that comes after me will be very different.

There will be new gatekeepers to being successfull: They will be able to grant and take away powers equalling magic or even godhood eventually.

Material resources, compute, will bestow power like never before in human history.

I think today I’m first time dealing with #AIanxiety: My job is perfect for being replaced by AI.

Sure, it will do a much shittier job than I do, but all the problems will be in time manageable by engineering.

Sure, I will pick up new skills and become a director of AI assistants instead. I’ll get paid less and less per line of code though.

But what I do will become a curiosity. Hand-written code will still be needed when the machine does something stupid, but that will be the exception.
