What collective perspective? There’s gonna be winners and losers, non uniform rewards and costs. Companies are already acting like that. And IMO more will join. They’re a hive mind who eagerly copy Google, Amazon, Facebook. And younger devs will add “LLM code gen” to their resumes. No job is safe, even kings and dictators get their heads chopped off.
Tech worker collective perspective. Those whose jobs will generally be affected due to idiots in position of power who are ready to believe that LLMs can do a good chunk of what devs do.
That the world is not a cartoon and even idiots have structural power and it’s not me “letting them”?
Aldo again, this is not a “me” discussion. I will be fine. But many people in the industry will be screwed.
It’s similar to when factories got mechanized, and people were promised 2 day work weeks. In reality, the number of high paying jobs shrunk, and wages compressed. That’s just the march of progress:)
I don’t, like 99% of people don’t or won’t. My job is safe, I am arguing from a collective perspective.
I simply don’t think companies will act like that. Also the mere reduction of total number of positions will compress salaries.

What does it say about you if you let idiots have power over you?

Well, since I have the chance to at least fight against idiots who push against their own interests (my colleagues and peers) I do.
So you’ll be breaking Altman’s beak with a baseball bat?
Do you think he is my peer or colleague? I wish…
Also Altman is not the problem, managers everywhere are
