<p>"I can’t solve these things, but maybe you people in the future can stand on my shoulders."<p>Seeing AI being lauded for solving problems like this makes me feel... uncomfortable.<p>We are feeding all works of the giants that we have all stood on into a huge vat, in the hope to generate something meaningful.<p>If we can't understand the output, internalize it, or build from the time and experience that a human would have gained from solving the same problem, it feels like a dead end.<p>When all the problems have been "solved" by AI, what's next? If humans no longer struggle to solve the problems that the previous generation have left behind, how do we progress?</p>

<p>One is a toy. Created on a whim, it will end up in the bin with other toys. They might pick it up and paw at it later, stir up some memories, and then put it back.<p>One is art. When completed, they can look at it and be reminded of the journey of creation, a labor of love. It could be put away, or displayed for all to enjoy.</p>

<p>I would get that as well - I ended up at the urgent care a few times just because it was so painful and unsettling.<p>It was never diagnosed but I'm pretty sure it was costochondritis - something in my sternum area was inflamed and would give off this awful shooting chest pain.</p>

<p>The best times were chilling out with my grandmother watching Roadrunner and other looney tunes.<p>She always felt bad for the coyote... not in a root-for-the-bad-guy kind of way, but because it was always stacked against him.<p>I know the movie is about Acme selling him defective goods, but I wonder how they'll address the way that his entire world including it's physical properties seemed to conspire against him.</p>

<p>As a kid in the early 90s, I remember staying up late to watch the news and there were specials about upcoming technology. I think it was close to the end of the year and they were going over what was in the works for the next year.<p>It was an exciting time, and I cherish those warm memories, that feeling of a wide open future that I was going to be a part of.<p>It feels like I got screwed out of those dreams.<p>Technology framed my life - I loved all of it! Computers, programming, videogames, taking everything I could apart and trying to figure it out and fix it when it failed. I eventually got into IT, and have had a good career.<p>The last couple years - it feels like it's all being taken away. There's a lot more to say, but I wasn't really planning on a super long rant here. Maybe I just wish the enshittification of it all had an ending that didn't feel so bleak.</p>

<p>> It provides unaccountable power outside the democratic process.<p>Doesn't help when the government isn't maintaining or enforcing guardrails for the ultra wealthy.<p>This is a war on the middle class. Free and fair elections are the last hope that most have to resolve it peacefully, so of course those are under attack.<p>> I do not understand why anyone else would go along with this.<p>I've been asking myself that for 10 years. Through both traditional and social media manipulation, they found a way to get enough people to vote against their best interests, and normalize the behavior, that it doesn't matter if a large portion of the country is still paying attention and asking those questions.</p>

<p>Don't worry, it's all worth it so long as we can get braindead summaries we didn't ask for, pretend to be the 10x engineer we always wanted to be, and generate fake videos for internet points!<p>(sarcastic rant over)<p>Most of the benefits of AI are being overshadowed by the lack of regulation and reckless abandon at which they are being developed.<p>Given the current trajectory I don't know if that's going to change before it's too late.</p>

<p>I wonder how many sysadmin or adjacent careers that scene helped to foster.<p>As a kid JP was a favorite of mine, and eventually I got into Linux as an older teen.<p>That sequence cemented Unix as this mythical thing in my mind and I knew I had to know more. I eventually got to work on AIX in my first sysadmin role which was great. I leaned more into Linux, but it had a positive effect on my IT career.</p>
