Larry GarfieldI may regret this at some point, but I felt the need to put down in writing how I feel about this moment in the tech industry.
It is not kind. You may well be insulted by it. If you are... then you really should question yourself.
|7eter l-|. l3oling 🧰@Crell great analysis. Lots to think about. Many of us in software are now between a rock and a hard place - exactly as the billionaires want it.
Alessandro Lai@galtzo I think that "rock and a hard place" is the situation in which the majority of us feels right now, and contributes to the overall scenario.
I personally feel there too, and as a father I'm only a bit less crushed than @Crell probably only because my son old enough to start teaching him about things like these.
My hope is that the bubble will burst soon, making the job market bounce (removing the hard place) and skirting the AI fad to only where it's really useful.
Florian Engelhardt@alessandrolai @galtzo @Crell I do believe that this is an astonishing huge bubble (bigger than dot-com and crypto) and that it will burst.
I doubt it'll burst soon, just because the amount of VC money being around is unbelievable.

@galtzo @Crell @flowcontrol that's probably true, but I still see that money is also the biggest bottleneck of this technology, so it seems a race to the bottom to me...
