@ranndino Honestly as a programmer I kept worrying about this when the ai hype went into overdrive a few weeks ago. Now I am just entertained and don't mind if I am next (if that even happens). Our society is built on a house of cards that prop up only a select few individuals and it is interesting watching it slowly crumble. It will start at the bottom and eventually reach the top till people who reside there can no longer ignore it. Once it reaches that point it will be peak entertainment, so yeah, I have my popcorn ready and I am enjoying the ride too. Also lets be honest, watching low level managers and HRs lose their jobs is beyond satisfying, more so than buzzfeed or vice editors.

@DarkLightProjector we're all coping right now, some better than others. I'm not sure what you point is or if this was some sort of attempt at a sick burn. I'm sure it sounded clever in your own head while typing it out and liking your own comment.

I spent an embarrassing amount of time looking for that vice javascript article before realising it was satire.

@DarkLightProjector Kid, the adults with actual jobs are having a discussion. Go fail at trying to be a funny troll elsewhere. Your half baked attempts at insults are embarrassing.

@cryppi1510 Ai will get to the point where it can be placed into real world codebases and make programming teams more efficient, but it simply isn't there today and your statement is just plain false. Can you actually reference which company replaced their coders with Ai? (HR staff, management & data entry staff don't count)

@plasticflower Pretty sure by enjoy the ride people mean buckle up and enjoy the chaos because there is nothing we can do about it. Change will have to come and governments have already realised this. Whether that change is in the form of UBI in the interim, I don't know. Some companies may also got the other direction and just hire more coders to handle advanced tasks not that they have the low level stuff taken care of by ai. So there may be less jobs for designing webpages or simple stuff like crud apps that have been done a million times .  Also I’m not sure what you are suggesting? Do we just sit in a corner and curl up into a ball? Most sensible people already realise these jobs may go away and are upskilling themselves or working on their own projects (tools like chatgpt does after all give individual coders more power to take their own projects off the ground… as a coder it helped me push out my side project on easter, which now has my rent and water bill covered) I’ll give it a few weeks and if it stays consistent I’ll probably reduce my work hours voluntarily.  get this doom and gloom bs outta here. This attitude is 4 weeks old. Not everyone needs to beg an out of touch boomer for a paycheque. Some of us can use this to generate our own income.
