@khalidabuhakmeh Even scenarios where GenAI was just hype bubble suck. Like the economy would crash so bad we can't root for that either.
This is, in my opinion and to date, the best possible outcome:

If an "AI" company can sell you access to software that will replace a $250k/year software engineer. They're going to charge $249k/year for it. That's how capitalism works. Well, they're going to charge $20k/year at first, during the land rush phase. Wait for some competitors to die off. Keep it low a while longer to kill off the incumbents. Then it'll jump up a bunch, before finally being even more expensive than the original thing. See also: Uber & AirBnB.

@khalidabuhakmeh It's so hard to see where all this is going really. A lot of end scenarios are nothing anyone should long for.

@khalidabuhakmeh Does it have a function to detect and avoid dog-schmear? (To avoid creating "the pentagram of dogshit")

@thepwnicorn @danirabbit Lead pipes: victims are the users. Asbestos: victims are the workers. Who will suffer the most because of AI code, workers or users?
