"At least you've got job security"

I am fucking -done- with hearing this.

No, I don't.

My 'job security' is an illusion based on the presumption that, in the event that my skillset is needed - or even essential - that there will be someone who will pay for the privilege of accessing those skills.

Except that the fucking LLM jockeys have decided to claim that their product has my skillset.

Even tho it demonstrably does not, this still means that the people who would presumably hire me are uninterested in doing so, due to the existence of a machine that promises to do it for them.

And when they fail, and their business goes insolvent, they still will not be hiring me because -they no longer have a fucking business to hire me for-.

So no. My carefully built, decades-of-practice skills are -not- job security, despite LLMs being obviously, flagrantly, and blatantly incapable of replacing me.

Fascist republicans introduce extreme bill to ban lawsuits against Big Oil forever

Citizens, we need to speak up about the pollution and destruction of our lands and waters.

If climate change isn't real, then why protect big oil from climate change lawsuits?

I see we blew past “the robots are more important than people” and we’re already at “the robots [are entitled to] have more rights than pedestrians” and “we need them to break laws so we can make more money”.

Super.
