If anything, it increased my threshold for complexity and I’m tits deep in some very cool projects. The concern is they are going to have to make it super expensive if they can’t get any meaningful efficiency gains.
For many of its uses as well, training will have to continue forever. That doesn't seem sustainable to me but hey it is 2026 and most people's primary concern is still fossil fuel prices. So, 🤷. Who knows how long it could go on for?
They're 100% going to make it more expensive regardless...
Like, they're pushing it on coders like crack dealers give out their first rock.
Like, you just said you can do things with it you couldn't without it. How long until you can't do what you could before without it?
Have you tried lately? Not a guess of what it would be like if you tried. Actually trying to code without it. If you haven't, you're going to be shocked how hard it is to resist, and how bad you are at it if you manage to do it manual.
It's going to be cheap till everyone is hooked, till they've gotten a promotion using AI, or forgot how to work without it.
When the choice is to send half your paycheck to the AI or get fired, a lot of people are going to sign over half their checks, just for the health benefits of employment.
They don't have to replace humans with AI, they know they can't do that.
But they absolutely can trick people (at least coders) into be coming reliant on something that can increase in price a thousand fold overnight.
C'mon bro, think of Uber or any "disruptive" tech, there's always what they say they want, and the actual goal that would have stopped anyone from using it to begin with. This shouldn't need pointed out to people "in tech"
You are right thats why people should run it mainly in a lokal stack.
The djinn is out of the bottle, no going back now. So either we adapt and plan for the rugpull or we get left behind.
It's disgusting but it is what it is.
I don't think you understood a single thing I typed....
That they push ai on coders to make them dependent on the ai trough skill deterioration and addiction and then they will raise the price?
