It was true when I started to work in this industry ~8 years ago. But of course YMMV especially depending on country and company

Maybe something more fitting would be the German unemployment benefits: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%C3%BCrgergeld

It’s of course not the same as UBI, but something close to it - basically everyone is entitled to it and while it’s really not a lot you can survive off it.

I thought the main value of juniors was that you grow them into seniors, not really the random scripts they write?

That’s somewhat true (in my case it’s it’s laughably simple though).

I also never said that tools like pandoc are obsolete now. Just in my case they are already overpowered and I might migrate to something simpler soon. Otoh i might just run the current version of 11ty indefinitely and never upgrade.

Here is a list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_basic_income_pilots

Probably not the scale you imagine but there have been plenty of tests.

Yea but that still requires a non-zero amount of time to setup and most importantly maintain and keep up to date.

Pure HTML generated from a text file just works and probably will forever.

I mean it’s just my personal website which is mostly just for me to look up things quickly / personal wiki

That’s exactly my plan. Too burned out on the npm ecosystem. I don’t have time to update all that shit constantly for a fucking static HTML page

Yea I tried Astro but I don’t want to learn their way of doing things, have breaking changes every x months/years and who knows in a couple years they maybe also are screwed.

Pure HTML will work probably forever. Previously it was too much manual work for me to write it but now the LLM just spits it out, easy as

My personal page runs on 11ty since the last 3 years and I enjoyed it a lot.

I’ll probably replace it with pure HTML soon - I found that I don’t need a SSG anymore, I can just use a local LLM to generate HTML out of markdown files and I never use any fancy features anyway.

The board of directors are also people in power - why not replace them with an LLM as well if it works so well for CEOs?

It’s one of the few (the only?) org that I donate to without second thoughts

Leadership is also a very human thing. I think most people would balk at the idea of being led by an LLM.

One of the main functions of leaders (should be) is to assume responsibility for decisions and outcomes. A computer cant do that.

And finally why should someone in power choose to replace themselves?

The problem is that they need to find some way to not only make the money back but multiply it. That’s where the “you’re getting screwed” comes into play - we don’t know yet how they will screw us, but it’s gonna happen

The problem is how to make money from something that is more or less solved.

No I said I have no sympathy for the old white men who hold all the power. Doesn’t mean every white man is in power or wealthy.

I think you just want to be upset or something.

Anyway racism against white people is somewhat ridiculous

Oh I see that makes sense, thanks for the explanation!

Can you share any of these examples? I haven’t been able to find any…

I don’t want to discriminate against anyone - my point is that you can’t discriminate against people who hold all the power, so I won’t have much sympathy if someone trolls them online.

And yea I believe anyone who is really rich (like 8+ figures rich) is morally bankrupt.
