@mergesort@macaw.social I think I initially got my nose out of joint because of the way folks were selling the benefits as entangled with a future where everybody needs to work exactly the way they do. My belief is that there's a future in here that's meaningful and profitable for people who value creative endeavours, it just looks a little different. Everything is changing, but everything has always changed 😀

@tonyarnold@mastodon.social I agree with all of that! I wouldn't trust a lot of these people to watch my cat for five minutes, but that doesn't make them wrong. But that's why I work so hard to teach people *with good sensibilities* how to use AI — people have the autonomy to shape their future and the future around them!

@tonyarnold@mastodon.social @mergesort@macaw.social You are absolutely correct! Some small percentage of human being have the urge to perfect the perfection and to outknow the knowledge. These are the people who discovered the fire and the rocket, and chiselled the statue of David. And luckily there are also people who respect this urge. If this was not the case the Swiss watch industry would never exist, and we all would have Casio watches fo $12
