05.08.2025 12:20 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Exactly. This is functionally a list of who Microsoft and others would like to try to replace. It doesn't mean it will work.
The ones most likely to be replaced are jobs like my own, developers. Where generative AI is just an elaborate pattern-matching machine, that works for coding.
Would you feel satisfied with a tablet-bot calming down your kid on their first flight? Would you trust a tablet-bot to safely escort everyone out of a train car after it derails?

05.08.2025 12:15 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 2 π 0Look, I know this may seem self-interested since "web developer" is on the most impacted list, but I just don't think this is realistic. How would generative AI operate as a historian, considering it can only reshuffle existing content?

We haven't fundamentally changed what we buy, in fact, we're buying less week to week since most produce comes from our CSA, which is prepaid

I know it sounds silly, but @pewpewbang.bsky.social was conceived as a response to the absolute fury and hopelessness we felt late last year.
We wanted to be unapologetically weird, fun, loud women, and create somewhere other people who needed an escape from The Horrors could laugh & have some fun.
A big wide angle view of a pasture that is hopelessly empty and boring except for a small cow at a small table with tools on it in the middle of the bottom of the frame. The cow, table, tools, and barn behind it are a consistent art style, while the added silos, landscape, and clouds surrounding the tiny focus of the image appear to be a slightly different and worse art style.
finally got my tickets to see cow tools at the sphere
