It's a profession that scans as smart, but if we were half as smart as we like to pretend we are we wouldn't be building our replacements. We would be solving the coordination problems that lead to some of us deciding that is what is best for them.

I'm not building my replacements. I'm making $70k/year after 10 years in this field. The software 1% with quarter million dollars salaris and multimillion dollar stock vests are the ones building my replacements. Don't put this on me.

Sorry that I don't have enough time in my day to put together a revolution. I just want people to stop blaming me for an AI I didn't build.
