This is exactly the kind of pointless discussion around rest apis

AI as an expensive bandaid

If I find a nice (YT) video, I download it and play it locally.

If by 50% you mean all juniors/mid-level engineers will not find work, then I agree.

From time to time check a couple of ads in YT. They are full of low quality unrealistic AI generated ads.

Same experience. I’m based in Western Europe.

I would use that anger to still work for the industry. You still can get a job. Use AI to work minimally and perhaps get another job (part time?) and take advantage of AI as well to work minimally. Earn two paychecks (not big ones, but combined, good enough) and put your passion on side projects. Fuck companies

I think it’s because they are more convenient: CDs are cheap, you own your music. With iPods you save hundreds of dollars per year, and you get to keep your music (and the iPod shuffle is perfect for working out).

Writing changed everything. You barely (if at all) can tell me what humans in the past were thinking without relying on some written artifact.

That’s around 28K EUR/year. I know some junior-mid engineers that earn that (and they are good) in southern Europe.

Any estimate on how much would the trip have cost? Just Interrail price

Besides the topic of freedom, we know how seemingly “good” companies (e.g., google) turned out to be: billion machine monsters that couldn’t care less about humanity and that have huge amounts of power… and yet, we vouch for Anthropic/openai to become the next giants because “progress”. Face palm.

Here a potential “nice” lesson: teach them to leave behind something they like. Now, that takes something (even for adults)

> Do you mind if I MITM all of your work output, your emails, your code, your messages, and attach my name to it and then receive your paychecks in exchange for my work?

You just described the whole AI industry
