We are fucked. I have no hope in humanity managing this technology responsibly and no hope in my future. The months since ChatGPT's release have been some of the worst in my life, mental-health-wise.
Either you go build something you want, an island where code doesn't talk back, or leave tech altogether.
I am saddened that I don't even recognise this place anymore. It's not Hacker News anymore, it's AI news. It's starry eyed engineers jumping over each other ready to sell their metaphorical soul. Even I, the Luddite, can't seem to talk about anything else than this bloody thing.
My current plan is to build a small business and retire in the middle of the woods somewhere. Do some Lisp coding while the rest of the world is dancing around their new idol.
/rant, send me an email if you wanna rant about it as well, and discuss your concerns.
