I think that's true of a lot of people on HN... But at the same time, if anything you can do, a machine can do better, it does feel kind of pointless in some way. I think maybe if you're a really skilled singer or musician, there might always be space for live performances, but if you're someone who enjoys engineering, nobody will care about the things you can engineer. We're already sort of reaching that point. It's incredibly hard to get any kind of attention for a new open source project or indie game, because the assumption is that anybody can just vibe code anything, and social media is becoming saturated.
You have to realize, we might soon (in a decade or two) reach a point where people will say things like "Oh, you want to go study science/engineering? Why?". It might literally become the dominant viewpoint that studying these things is useless. If the accelerationists have their way, they won't want humans to do any engineering, they will say that this is the job of machines, and humans can only do harm if they do engineering. That's not going to encourage kids to go try to learn those skills.
