I want software to displace me when it comes to my day-to-day grind job, so that I can spend this time on something more interesting.
But I want that to happen in a way that results in a Star Trek communist utopia, not a hellscape where 90% of humanity is "redundant" to the very few people who own all that automation and its outputs.
It comes off as little other than thinly veiled contempt for the people that actually make the business function.
We've seen, most recently, Jassy come out and say "we're gonna need a lot less people", Zuckerberg doing his "replacing engineers" shtick on several occasions, all the commentary from the Anthropic CEO/Altman etc.
Even if none of this comes to pass, I've never witnessed such open "threats" in my lifetime.
I can't square this perspective with that of the LLM advocates that run to defend every legitimate criticism of LLM use--unless you're one of the aforementioned or in a similar position, why would you want to defend software that's primary purpose is to displace you?
They are literally telling you that's why they're investing in it. I don't get it.
