How not to lose your job to AI

  AI can now complete real-world coding tasks

  That is the point where I stopped reading.
  Yes, the author of this article should worry about AI, because AI is indeed quite effective in writing nonsense articles like this one. But AI is nowhere near replacing the real specialists. And it isn’t the question of quantity, it is a principal question of how modern “AIs” work. While those principles won’t change, AIs won’t be able to do any job that involves logic and stable repeated results.

    It can complete coding tasks. But that’s not the same as replacing a developer. In the same way that cutting wood doesn’t make me a carpenter and soldering a wire doesn’t make me an electrician. I wish the AI crowd understood that.

      It can complete coding tasks, but not well AND unsupervised. To get it to do something well I need to tell it what it did wrong over 4 or 5 iterations.

      Yep. I wrote code almost entirely with a. I know for my own projects.

      The amount of iteration and editing it requires almost requires a new specialty dev called "A. I developer support. ".

    80000 hours are the same cultists from lesswrong/EA that believe singularity any time now and they’re also the core of people trying to build their imagined machine god in openai and anthropic

    it’s all very much expected

  Working with your hands is a good way. I feel like online discussions often forget that people like this even exists.

  I feel that this article is based on beliefs that are optimism rather tham empiricism, and trains of thought driven way into highly simplified territory.

  Basically like the Lesswrong, self-proclaimed “longtermists” and Zizians crowds.

  Illustrative example: Categorizing nannies under “human touch strongly preferred - perhaps as a luxury”. This assumes automation is not only possible to a degree way beyond what we see signs of, but that the service itself isn’t inherently human.

  I’m not even gonna read it, but the 3rd pyramid is hilarious. Go on executives, just do it! See how it goes.
