There's a temptation to be "nuanced" or to hold "complex" views about AI.
I ask that you please reject that temptation and recognize that full and complete abstinence from AI is a complex view that considers the tradeoffs, compromises with the relative extremes of direct action, and that comes from a comprehensive understanding of what AI is.
I wrote a love letter to Peter Welch's "Programming Sucks" essay, about the state of the tech industry in the age of AI. Hope you'll give it a read & tell me what you think:
Sorry Peter. — I'm at a birthday party, and while most people here also work in tech, there's always a Guy with a Real Job. You know, a physical job, building some or other thing people need. And this Guy always asks some variant of the same question: aren't you worried AI is taking your job? I glance around and see a few faces turning around toward us, rolling their eyes ever so slightly before returning to their previous conversation. Yes, this question again.
Reviewed a ZimaBoard 2. An incredible device, reminded me of a joy of the first Raspberry Pi
