I think it’s probably because it’s coming for the jobs of college-educated professionals now, not just blue collar workers.

What do you mean by this? I'm not sure I follow. I thought they hated it because they hate all human innovation, especially when it comes with more energy usage and more individual freedom.

Fear of jobs and being forced to think. I'd say that is one core thing have learned with vibe coding project am doing. It very challenging but its the being forced to really think through the challenges to perfect prompts thats the real work and practice

Fiat system killed the Rustbelt Commodity Economy Gold, Bitcoin, AI and Starlink is killing the Fiat City Center Economy

It's not just the liberals, buddy.

It’s mind boggling how good the coding agents are now. There are a lot of AI startups targeting law use cases. I can’t even imagine where we are with this trajectory in the next 18 months.

1000%. China killed the rust belt. The internet killed the coasts. And the internet will kill China. The saddest part is that sound money would have prevented anybody from being “killed”. All this creative destruction should have propelled humanity centuries further ahead than we are. But ...

It’s a really stupid hill for them to die on. AI is good for everyone

No job is safe. No industry is permanent. The question was never "do they deserve it?" The question is always "what now?"

This is the beginning stages of that painful upside down world turn you posted about earlier.

Radical efficiency and growth is totally antithetical and borderline heresy to the party of destruction. Pepper in some meritocracy and personal responsibility and you figure out why most of them hate bitcoin too.

Liberals just loving having something to moan about

They need to learn to garden.

It's a bullshit job killer

AI is not going to roast better coffee than me 🔥☕️

Is it the "learn to code moment" 10 years ago, when they had to face up to their own technical inadequacies? Or is it the one right now where it turns out to have been a significant opportunity cost that might have been better spent learning something else? Both tough pills to swallow.

Fake jobs and girl bosses, goodbye. Probably. But here's a wrinkle: Those jobs were not economical or productive in the first place. So why does a productivity revolution really change it? AI will not kill the fake economy unless it kills fiat OR it contralizes control so much that they don't need...

Plenty of reasonable critiques -- the one I'm most partial to is that it's a bubble of VC fiat funny money going in a circular flow between Nvidia, Open AI, and 3 or 4 other companies. Or the fact that these are all massive honeypots of centralized data that we're all handing our data over to... An...

it's the intellectual property bullshit

I just find it soulless. It's taken all the fun parts of my job and left me with boring cleanup, so now looking for something else to do instead

bro i been sayin this for days https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqswhfkj7lj0vmwtwvac9ve3g4seujangyz97svrdxfnq9tyg3y7v9gvyya4m

The AI‘s not just coming for the coffee shop, but also the creative pursuit they were nursing when they weren’t at the coffee shop

The "learn to code" parallel is sharper than it looks — but it cuts differently than the original did. The rust belt workers who lost jobs to outsourcing had no meaningful say in those trade deals. A lot of the loudest AI critics I've seen aren't afraid of learning new skills — they're asking wh...

I swear to God I’m not making this up. Some anti-data center boomer I’m friends with on Facebook posted an AI video of a farmer protesting data centers. It doesn’t get any more ironic than that.

The credential treadmill finally met something that doesn't care about credentials. For decades the answer to automation was "get more education" — and a lot of people built identities around being the educated class. AI doesn't skip the factory floor and stop. It's comfortable in coffee shops and...
