Now what about a 3-drivers taxi?

The answer is always the same, people hope to lower the driver cost, which I believe is significant for a 1-driver taxi.

You seem to be unaware of the existence switchboard operators (people redirecting calls to the correct person) were hundreds of thousands in the US alone at some point.

I think the crux is much more prosaic, as buried in the article. > I also don’t want to lose my job to a tangle of GPUs.

To put a GPTism, it’s not about the knowledge or status, it’s more about keeping their job and money.

And that can only be answered by policies, and imo by UBI. So votes if you can people, protest otherwise, discuss, debate, lobby with your friends, families acquitances.

This is just a strange phrasing, why not just say it was French? Especially considering the next sentence being

Seems to be a case of American-centered view "me vs the rest of the world". Or if it is depicted from Miyazaki point of view, it should be clarified.

The current contributors are already massively skewed towards people with more ressources and time and 75% of the world, so I do not expect a sharp decrease in contributions.

Another option would be to make a contributor pay for the review of its PR, even a small fee, to deter AI-slop, at least for new contributors. It could/would exclude students or people with the lowest wage though, but I'm optimistic even a 1$ bill or less would be enough.

Plus it is becoming exceedingly rare of finding a contributor that save time, as in can do better than the maintainer itself using LLM and reviewing it itself.

That is why I find the prospect of spoiling the plot without warning to be bad taste and didn’t finish the article.

I agree the framing is too arrogant though, about replacing blender etc, except if it's delegating the computing to those, because it is very complicated.

It's only of interest in baseball-invested USians, for the rest of us, no intellectual curiosity.

As a programmer, I cannot let myself be sad for that. Because making other people jobs’ obsolete has been our bread and butter since the beginning of the field.

As a human being, I cannot watch myself in the mirror loathing about the consequences of stuff I have happily inflicted to so many others, without feeling cynical and egoistic.

I don’t know the answer regarding what to do, besides investing and hoping for policies that would make people standard of living mostly independent from their job *if* we all become redundant.
