"AI can't replace you but an AI salesman can convince your boss to replace you will AI."

Maybe surprisingly an 8. I got laid off a couple of days ago. This is the first time in my adult life I've been unemployed. 25 years at the organization I just left. For the last couple of years, the place hadn't really valued me.

I have a good severance package, so that is a big help. I was intending to enjoy a bit of time off unless something dropped into my lap. Well, a very attractive position has come up and I think I am well suited for it. It's looking like something is dropping in my lap. 😊

I'm hopeful for those position.

Based on the fact that most people don't see their interaction with the LLM as gazing into the mirror, am I being led to believe that most people are not sentient???

Understood. Cory Doctorow says something along the lines of 'improving your LLM and expecting it to become sentient is like breeding horses to be faster and expecting it to give birth to a locomotive."

"So "AI" doesn't need to be shackled because "AI" isn't an intelligence and has no agency or control over anything."

Except that lots of people are giving their fancy word guessing machine agency and control over different things.

Yay, agentic AI! /s

Banana of calming, plus 10 to calmness.

Technology can lead to better lives for everyone, the problem is that we have criminalized reverse engineering and "advisarial interoperability". That is a policy decision, which has been very profitable for a very few. If the policy changed, the world could change.
