I am very uncomfortable about people trying to ascribe religious force or a surrender of human judgment to AI models, and think it is a real safety issue.
3 years ago, my career goals:
intern -> SDE -> SDE-2 -> SDE-3 -> Principal engineer -> Sr. Principal engineer -> Technical Manager -> Director -> Sr. Director -> CTO -> CEO
Now:
intern -> SDE -> SDE-2 -> Farmer
Non-Tech guys who are enjoying and celebrating by seeing layoffs in tech (esp in oracle, Adidas, etc)
If there are no software engineers
-CA's will lose their clients
-Gyms will lose their clients
-Banks, people will stop mutual funds, FDs, credit cards, home loans, etc
-Car, bike showrooms couldn't sell their products
-Cab/Auto drivers will not get customers
-People will stop going to restaurants or ordering food (Zomato drivers + Restaurants gets affected)
-No national or international vacations (Tourist spots will lose money)
-Doctors & Hospitals will lose income (No health checkups, insurance clients)
-Schools & teachers, now people will start sending their children to normal schools instead of paying 5 lakhs/year schools
-Universities & professors, students will stop taking Computer science or related courses
-AI companies will lose their revenue, less software engineers = less subscriptions
-Hardware companies - less laptops, monitors, phones, GPUs
-Domestic workers, can't afford
-Tech parks will start looking empty
-Cracking govt jobs becomes 100x tough
-Unemployment increase
-Financial frauds, crimes will increase
-Government will get less tax
-Poor people can't get freebies
It ripples through almost every sector.
IF WE GO DOWN, WE DON"T GO DOWN ALONE....
