<![CDATA["At least you've got job security"]]>"At least you've got job security"

I am fucking -done- with hearing this.

No, I don't.

My 'job security' is an illusion based on the presumption that, in the event that my skillset is needed - or even essential - that there will be someone who will pay for the privilege of accessing those skills.

Except that the fucking LLM jockeys have decided to claim that their product has my skillset.

Even tho it demonstrably does not, this still means that the people who would presumably hire me are uninterested in doing so, due to the existence of a machine that promises to do it for them.

And when they fail, and their business goes insolvent, they still will not be hiring me because -they no longer have a fucking business to hire me for-.

So no. My carefully built, decades-of-practice skills are -not- job security, despite LLMs being obviously, flagrantly, and blatantly incapable of replacing me.

I recently saw a post of a Twitter screenshot or something where someone said they're hiring juniors to do simple stuff because it's cheaper than tokens 😄

No idea if it was real though, may be fake or joke

Ummm.... yeah.... about that....

And I "shitcan" technical debt. I will most likely resort to good old sed + find + xargs and clang-tidy for most of the "dogshit". pi-dev with <<insert name of chinese open weights model here>> would be a last resort.

If I lose my job in devops/infrastructure related work (either through LLM-induced ragequit or layoffs), there's no fucking way I'm returning to un-fuck the mess these assholes have made.

Yeah I wondered about that, too. Some of the people I know hold degrees + positions. And they enthusiastically feed their most private + work-sensitive kompromat to Δltman and kΔrp.

I generated an image a few years ago showing a net was trained on cake and pudding it had never seen both in one picture and when asked to generate one, it enthusiastically generated garbage.

It's a statistical model not sentient. These ppl can supposedly think critically?!

Like, seriously, if you ripped out the engine of your car and replaced it with a vat of shit-flavored pudding, do you think that your mechanic would appreciate seeing that towed into her service bay? Especially if you were demanding that it be fixed without the appropriate budget and resources to hazmat-vaporize the fecal slurry and replace it with OEM spec parts?
