2·5 days agoThere’s a step function — at some point you’re just trying to survive within the system.
But there comes a point where you literally can’t even survive within the system — and yes that’s a dangerous line to cross. We haven’t crossed that line yet.

Not to mention Fox News and the right wing media exists entirely to lie straight to our faces and fill our brains with culture wars so the average person has no idea which way is up.

Technology@lemmy.world•Software engineers are facing an 'identity crisis bordering on depression,' Menlo Ventures partner saysEnglish
1·15 days agoI’m sorry you felt condescended to, but I don’t see what “the shit” here is. The author of this thesis has an agenda, and much nonsense has been spilled by people who do not deserve a platform.
Do you mean automation in general? Yes we’ve been automating everything for a long time, and LLMs are another step in that line — but as someone who works with them every day and is still heavily hiring with large salaries — the “depression” isn’t from LLMs as a tool, or a threat to replace humans, but from a heavy handed directive foisted by executives who no longer know what grass looks like anymore.
Its the inversion of skill in the workplace where senior reviewers are at the mercy of early career developers who used to be constrained by their talent level — now unleashed by LLM to generate slop they can barely control, the most talented seniors are being crushed by slop while trying to keep the lights on, while management is laying off the same and rewarding the slop makers, so they can collect huge bonuses and move on before the load bearing engineers give out.
This is a management problem at publicly traded companies. And that is “the shoe in the other foot”? If you say so.
Mark my words — by the time token prices stabilize to reflect their actual cost, there will be more software engineers being employed in the world — with LLMs as a tool.

The essential problem is that there’s been a multi generational war on information, culminating in Fix News and other right wing media creating an alternate reality where culture wars are are the only thing roughly half the population think about.
You’re existing the in the real reality, so you see corruption. But half the people have need fed so many lies the corruption hidden by a layer of bullshit so thick they actually do think Trump was sent by God to stop trans people from going into women’s bathrooms.
They legitimately live on a different planet, and have made it clear they will literally riot if you contradict them. They fantasize about a civil war where they can kill you in your sleep. They can’t be fixed without being deprogrammed. But they don’t want to be deprogrammed. They want to be where they are. They are home.
