@xgranadeCassandra Granade 🏳️‍⚧️ @glyph I gave a talk a couple months back where I updated "A Modest Proposal" to illustrate the rather alarming state we're in re: AI Industry.

This was within a conference where several talks, including a keynote, were focused on how to implement LLM tools into your workflows.

The response I received was surprising to me. It was overwhelmingly positive from the attendees, a standing ovation if I remember correctly (maybe a couple hundred in the room).

It feels like, inherently, many developers have some pent up/repressed feelings toward the situation we're in ... but also, maybe they feel resistance is futile... I really can't say. I observe a lot of cognitive dissonance.

I really do think that in the end, it'd be great if, regardless of where we stand on the "usefulness" debate, we could at least agree on the need for accountability and consequences. (i.e. as Cassandra noted elsewhere, having any sort of useful regulation that's enforceable and pro-worker)
