It's already happening. Zuck is replacing himself in the boardroom with AI Zuckerberg. (and in the bedroom with Black Guy Cuclkeberg)

Pride is important because in the old model, people were proud of themselves for doing a difficult job that paid a lot of money. When machines replace human labor, we will need to find something else to be proud of. Boomers and Gen-Xers won't get it, they will feel ashamed of their non-working children. Millennials will have mixed feelings, Gen-Z will mostly embrace it...

Gen Alpha and beyond will wonder why people ever felt proud of having to slog through 8 hours of office work every day.

I don't remember any politicians running on UBI for displaced telephone operators. Hillary ran on retraining coal miners to be coders which is even more laughable now than it was then (but for very different reasons).

I think the bottom line is that we live in a democracy so as soon as UBI resonates with a majority of voters, it will happen. I don't expect it to happen in the next cycle though.

Insurance adjusters are experts because they have access to actuarial data. They do not have data on how likely AI or bad actors are to get access to nukes.

There are youtubers who have eaten WWII spam. Anyway it doesn't need to last 50, just the last stretch to 50.

Ok, and you trust them to know and tell you their odds of them using a weapon that's supposed to be only used as a deterrent? That's ridiculous.

Wait, you're saying the guy who won a prize for fundamental physics isn't qualified to weigh in on nuclear weapons? Because who the fuck is in that case?

Ideally, the nuclear winter will cancel out the global warming. The plants might all die but there should be enough canned goods for someone to make it to 50 years. Suck on that, nobel physicists!

Of course AI will end programming as a profession It's only been a few years and it's most of the way there already. And robots will eliminate construction workers but that hasn't started yet.

I'm pretty sure they're getting sued too.

I think zig is more of an "interoperator" with C. In other words you use them together (like people are already doing with Python, only easier)

rsql instead of psql, ripgrep, starfish, atuin. Probably more that I can't think of.

I've got about 5 cli tools that i use every day that replace core utils (exa to replace ls for example) so in my experience that's not the case.

Unfortunately half of them break. Still I expect to see Rust continue to rise if Zig doesn't steal its thunder.

...Beginning with a forced eating challenge in which one employee had to consume a dead tarantula. Hey chief product officer Scott Olechowski, quit stealing my moves!
