Ask HN: Who feels depressed after yet another Chat GPT announcement?

A fully incorporated world. You want a child? 101 AI assisted CEOs, docs and some middle management guys will have to vet you and your wife, first.
But to be serious: the world is big, plenty of analog stuff to do, you have to unlearn, relearn, relocate, reconnect. Don't watch the news. Do it at your own pace. There are mellow death cults, accelerationist ones, AI assisted, MAGA ones, and you can ignore them all. You can still engineer more than whatever you want in 15 years and you'll feel AI as much as you felt those patches and upgrades to Kernel, OS, framework and your favorite languages. You have control.

Well said.
After filling the word with AI, we all will discover the basic fact: we cannot eat AI.
Ai dont's have a salary, Ai can't buy items and sustain a real economy.
AI is not even Intelligent, or Artificial, it's our same stuff repakaged, clever techs maybe, but just a tech tool.
And as all tools the big problem is the USE 'someone' will try to do of it, and this is a human decision, so we can/must have a voice on this. Knowledge, culture, education, studies, experience.. are amongs the keys to do this.

Buy a patch of land and learn how to live on it sustainably. its one way to have peace of mind.
There is whole universe to be explored and AI is gonna help us to conquer the outside world.

It feels like life is throwing you overboard. You continue to work by inertia on legacy code that was written very poorly. The company is not ready to use AI (idiots), life is passing by.
People don't realize what a Pandora's box we've opened. There's one last step left. In 5-10 years, we will saturate our world with external manipulators through which AI will be able to control the world.
A universal basic income is already being fully discussed by the elites, as the scale of “layoffs” becomes clearer. Millions of people will simply become useless soon.
As an engineer, I partly feel guilty about this. As a result, we, engineers, came up with a system that will eventually replace even us and we will become commodities in the next 10-15 years.
What do you HN community think about this?
