I kind of feel like software engineers working on improving AI are traitors working against other SE’s trying to make a living.
However…
I have to acknowledge my craft of SE has been putting people out of work for decades. I myself came up with business process improvement that directly let the company release about 20 people. I did this twice.
So… fair play.
Sure, but that’s fine. I don’t have any allegiance to other software engineers.
Aren't the true traitors still the ones paying the SE to do that work? The managerial slave-master class?
In the grand scheme it's good to invent things that replace human labor. It frees up people to do more interesting things. The goal should be to put everyone out of a job.
