The only thing that will save Linux from AI is when programmers get their head out of their ass and stop subscribing to scifi slop that AI is about take over and start asserting to everyone else how necessary human input is in their craft by forming unions.
The problem with programmers is they are quick to think their understanding of computers makes them understand everything and it created a massive blindspot of hubris big enough to allow the ruling class to destroy the potential quality of life that used to come from working as a programmer right in front of their eyes.
That problem isn’t even specific to computer science, it’s specific to most engineering fields. Programmers are just extremely good at automating, so they automate themselves out of existence.
At least in Germany, people with higher-education on-average also have more political awareness - but the more engineering their field contains, the more that awareness jumps out of the window (what I mean by that is that of all the people with higher-education, engineers have the highest rate of politically right-leaning people, which in my world-view equates to being incompetent).
Which imo comes from another problem: Computer Science had a huge boom, and now we ended up with a lot of businessmen who can hussle 70h/week to get their degree in 4 semesters, so that they can start their path to their first million. Basically, computer science got invaded by capitalists and the nerds just went to another corner in hopes not to be bothered. Not that they could have done much about it, there are way more capitalists than there are computer nerds.
It’s sci-fi that AI is going to take over, but we also need unions to prevent it? Hmm.
We need unions to prevent humans from the ruling class from abusing you because they have thoroughly convinced you and others like you incorrectly that robots can actually replace entry level versions of yourself.
It might appear that they can in the short term, but that is why we refer to AI as a bubble.
Wake up.
I don’t see why unions are necessary for that. If it turns out they are wrong and AI can’t reduce the need for humans they will quickly realise.
In any case, they’re pretty clearly just using AI as an easy excuse for layoffs they want to do anyway.
No, they have not realized that has already happened.
