I think this is a great article that puts to words something I've been thinking for a while about LLMs/AI/etc; as tools they clearly can be useful and are here to stay, but the real concern should be the effect it's having on the talent pipeline. (1/5)

The machines are fine. I'm worried about us.

On AI agents, grunt work, and the part of science that isn't replaceable.

The real concern is the impact these "technologies" and companies have on our very ecosystem and societies (which are abundantly documented), and why people yet deliberately chose to turn a blind eye on it.

@Sahnvour I wrote it all using my meat brain and meat fingers, and since you didn't read, you didn't realize that the societal effect is exactly the point I'm talking about.

You also didn't realize that the thread explicitly calls you out as the type of person who won't read the thread and have anything useful to contribute, so thank you for proving my point there I guess!
