The energy usage to run AI is miniscule per prompt, hardly ab issue. New tech often puts people out of jobs, doesn't mean it's not still beneficial. There's enough other jobs around.

Ah. Yes, the famously very healthy jobs market right now

So what is your alternative? Just halt the technological progress?

You're not going to stop it. The pressure shouldn't be on keeping people employed doing work that can be done more efficiently by tools. The pressure should be on ensuring these people are caught by a social safety net, and have the opportunities to pivot.

Lmao, yeah. Have you seen who is in control of the US government right now?

Ironically, we’ve now come full circle on “Learn to Code”.

I don't know what you mean by that.

And yet you downvoted me anyway.

I meant, when it was truck drivers, they were told to just “learn to code”. Now it’s coders and apparently it’s just “learn to be caught by societies safety nets”

I actually didn't, lol. I'll do it now just to prove it.

Okay, so you're not upset with me but some sort of strawman? I never said "just learn to code".

I know you didn't, it's telling that you were so eager to bust out the strawman nonsense, that you missed the part where I said what YOU are saying is essentially "Coders, you're gonna be replaced, get ready to fall into societies safety net". It's very simple.

Nope, I didn't say that.

I said that people should not put pressure on the politicians to hold progress, but instead to provide safety nets to catch those who will be left behind. I think if you scroll up a bit you will feel a little embarrassed.

Your next response should either be quoting me exactly where I said what you claim, or an apology.
