<p>> I'd pay a business $100 for a proper report on the rentals available in a city that meet a criteria and are amalgamated from all the the various platforms.<p>If this can be fully automated then you can just ask your own agent to do this and wouldn't need a business for it. And agents can already fill out web forms just fine.</p>

<p>This is a simplistic view. E.g. how does this argument account for the data we have that someone with black sounding name will get less opportunity than someone with a white sounding name and an identical resume? In this case the lower chances to get ahead have nothing to do with economic circumstance.</p>

<p>What you're describing is an American domestic policy issue.<p>There's no dispute that America has become incredibly more rich and powerful over the past 40 years. The fact that that money is increasingly funneled to fewer and fewer people (as a percent of the population) is something that can be changed locally, without changing our foreign policy stance.<p>It's not a surprise that the "devastation" of the middle class coincides with the continued reduction of tax rates on the entities collecting all that money. The America that MAGA seems to think was great was one of higher taxes and more social programs.</p>

<p>On the contrary this is exactly what they said they'd do if elected. This is exactly what was voted for. Don't pretend like Americans didn't have agency in the destruction of their own country.</p>

<p>If all the competitors have the same quality and price then you're always going to be using some subjective criteria to decide between them. Why is choosing a minority supplier worse than any other criteria in this case?</p>

<p>> And moving those metrics and OKRs doesn't get you more money.<p>Because you are already being paid to move those metrics and OKRs. Not doing so means you're not actually doing your job and, in a well managed company (which are admittedly few and far between), will be rightfully fired and replaced by someone who does.</p>

<p>The question isn't about what you'll do when you're replaced by an LLM, it's what you're doing to future proof your job. There is a difference. The risk to hedge against is the productivity boost brought by LLMs resulting in a drop in the needs for new software engineers. This will put pressure on jobs (simply don't need as many as we used to so we're cutting 15%) AND wages (more engineers looking for fewer jobs with a larger part of their utility being commoditized).<p>Regardless of how sharp you keep yourself you're still at subject to the macro environment.</p>
