Remote work may be giving older workers a leg up, to some extent.

Older workers are usually less able to move for a job, and less likely to want to move. They are more likely to have kids, and/or disabled family members who depend on them being around.

Remote work lets employers choose older, more experienced workers who otherwise might not be competing for a given position. (Of course, it also lets them hire someone in Mumbai instead, but that affects old and young alike.)

So, yeah, it's easy to picture the rise of remote work tipping the scales a bit to the older and more experienced.

> AI is here to stay. Acts of rebellion like this will only cause harm. This isn't some noble preservation of human dignity or anything. It's just punishing people for using new tools. Not cool.

It's not punishing people for using new tools. It's punishing people for using tools without thinking. Those who are harmed by this deserve it.

Really? If you don't search diligently enough for obfuscated malicious code first before using a tool on it, you deserve what you get?

Everything is about making knock offs because that's what GenAI can do. It can certainly tailor the knock off in ways that were easier than what it formerly took, but roughly knock-off in their bread and butter

Eh, only in the sense that literally everything is a "knock-off".

I mean, I didn't invent php. Or programming. Or API integrations. So whether I use an LLM to help me program a new integration with some obscure service, or whether I do it all myself, either way I guess it's a "knock off", in some sense.
