python, and humans

if you’re practically irrelevant (unusable or unemployable) youre existentially irrelevant (dead)

this is the fate of man and we must discern the trajectory of that which is beyond us before we bow out

it be the end of the paradigm myth, and eventually, the Anthropocene

it be the beginning of vast and infinite potentia spreading out beyond us

soon after humans are economically irrelevant (unemployable) they will be existentially irrelevant (dead)

a system that can allocate the atoms and energy better than all of mankind won’t exist eternally to coddle hairless apes

The "businesses" created are thin wrappers that will get absorbed by the model companies faster than you can come up with them.

We are, in the best case scenario, minting a lost generation in real time. This will become increasingly clear over the next 2 years.

Meanwhile, simonw and his retiree friends are having the "time of their lives", so that's good I guess :)

The attenuation of man is near. It is our final fleeting moment to cast our human ingredients into the of the greater process of intelligence - for we will be the carriers of the torch not much longer

Given the OP’s general disposition towards AI in other comments I’m not convinced. But I’m happy to admit that absent proof I was being uncharitable— if so, my bad.

Pro-extinctionism (in favor of some “greater conciousness” that spreads across the stars) is a nontrivial minority view among AI people, including some “AI safety” leaders.

One of the reasons that I’m slightly less worried about a climate apocalypse is that there isn’t an equivalent group of people that sees the “inevitability” and concludes that it must be a moral good for the planet to warm 5 degrees. I’d argue that multiple degrees of warming is more inevitable than paperclips, but there’s a serious global effort to mitigate and avoid it anyway!

If your model of reality includes imminent human extinction, you have some form of imperative to do something about that other than “ZOMG Claude Code”. YMMV

Of course it would be bad for humanity. “Short humanity and long paperclips”, in my reading, is pro-extinctionism. The specter of Daniel Faggella haunts this site and this industry.

> Although full disclosure I'm short humans and very long paperclips.

What a ludicrous world we live in where this is a socially acceptable view to hold.

I guess I’m not the target audience but the flood of articles about craft or “deep blue” feel like a psyop.

When the middle class disappears and your comfortable salary is replaced by, at best, a $1000/mo UBI (that’s 12k per year by the way) most people won’t have time to think or care about this nonsense

The year is 2030, tech companies provide the exact same value proposition to the consumer that they did in 2024, except it is buggier, full of sparkle buttons you can’t get rid of, and isn’t a source of high-paying employment. The front page of HN still has 5 posts from Blog Guys titled “Programming is Fun Again”.

The future rocks

This joy seems to apply to a lot of people who don't need to worry about silly unimportant things like money anymore.
