Well said!

Everyone downvoting you is doing it while sipping their cups of copium.

If they continue to ignore, then they’re gonna find out just how right you are. Real quick.

I adapted to the trend, and now make more money with less effort. And when the wind changes, I’ll adapt again, until I’m put out to pasture.

This is the way. I’m flabbergasted that more people on Lemmy, who are more techie in nature, aren’t sharing the same attitude.

Lemmy is rapidly becoming “Luddite Central” compared to other places I mess around with online.

I don’t understand why more people don’t realize this is the way to do things. Lately, Lemmys sound like a bunch of old people yelling at the sky and telling people to get off their lawn. Most of Lemmy users are around 30. Why the fuck are you all sounding like out-of-touch old men lately?!

Shit changes. Guess what? It’s been like this this for every industry forever. Adapt or lose. It’s always been that way, always will be that way. It’s just that until now, programmers were mostly immune.

But for the rest of us plebes, job fears and tech change has always been the norm. Welcome to our world.

But how I’ve always done it and always had an easy time, is to adapt and figure out how to work the system.

This whole “Imma quit because I don’t like it!” lemmy AI attitude is hilarious to me. If you can quit, then quit! If you can’t, the figure out a way to make shit work for you. In the end, your employer doesn’t give a shit what you like or don’t like.

As for all the copium sippers saying, “Well, AI isn’t nearly as good as I am at coding…” Cool! How much longer do you think that’s gonna be true? I remember when AI first started becoming the norm a few years ago, the naysayers would say, “But it can’t do fingers! AI will never fool anyone!” LMAO

How the fuck are you all tech people, yet you don’t realize that the tech you are seeing now is only gonna get better and more powerful?! Do you all suddenly turn off your logical brains when it comes to AI? It’s technology. This is early days. Look how powerful it is now, now imagine in 5 years.

If you all really think that you are always gonna be better at programming than AI will be in 5 years, well…fuck it. You kinda deserve what will happen to you.

If what you all were saying about how shit and weak AI is were true, then ya’ll wouldn’t have any reason to be mad or worried then, would you?

AI is only going to be better, faster, and more powerful. You all can downvote every single fucking AI post you see on Lemmy, but it won’t stop it.

I’ll adapt and still figure out a way to fuck over my useless bosses. I’m like @wesker@lemmy.sdf.org in that I go with the flow, laugh about and collect my paychecks while doing less work.

Ride the wave and learn how to surf it or go under.

(When I say “You” I meant most Lemmy readers, not you Dr. Wesker. You are aware of how shit works. I just can’t believe what you and I are doing seems to be so rare on Lemmy)

In fact, I burn my Lemmy accounts after about a year and start fresh, specifically to avoid any accidental buildup of info that could be used to dox me. I even use red herring info in my “personal” posts.

This is the way.

Thanks for all you do. I appreciate your efforts!

Exactly why I host my own. Not under this username though, because I’d get defed’d by most of Lemmy. LOL My stalkers don’t know my instance name or username there because it doesn’t interact with this username at all. haha

Everyone should own their own. To be clear tho, mine is totally a $5 VPS from a racknerd black friday sale held together with Docker Compose and prayers. But I only have 6 users and I won’t allow more, so all good!

Like the millenials that still play Pokemons.

Which is weird too.

I’ve definitely outgrown most of the movies, toys, and videogames that I enjoyed as a child. The only people I know who play and love minecraft are kids of my friends. Even my daughter outgrew it, and she’s 15.

how old were you when you first started playing it?

So why would a 30-year old adult still be playing a game he played at 13? I understand 13 year olds playing it, I don’t understand 30-year olds playing it

I thought mostly children played it.

That’s like being surprised adults play with legos.

Which doesn’t change my attitude about adults playing children’s video games at all. LMAO

I thought only kids played minecraft. Are there really still that many adults playing a children’s game?
