Sorry to hear about those guys. It feels ... As if the ecologies to birth "people like that" (classic leftists? The true foil for corporatists of any stripe), in step with deindustrialization, are also disappearing, not a pipeline problem.. albeit those experiences could still be a trove of yet-to-be articulated insight! The obvious replacement, FOSS developers.., already kinda own the means of production.. except for heavy equipment: GPUs. Tariffs, again, make so much perverted sense. Re: McLuhan, kinda counter/parallel to the old adage that.. (Tetrad TIL!) when an old guy says something is possible, he's almost always right, when he says it's impossible, he's most likely wrong. Placeholder for asking tetradic q's about how YouTube is a prototype for the institutions that we need (TikTok as well, in a different way) Because.. AI slop will probably not gain supremacy there..
Otoh average TikToker requires fewer hard resources to go viral Edit: Frankly, devs might need to first develop a healthier relationship with kidney-busting schlep. It is like, but also unlike, the old blue collar manual labor. YouTube/TikTok type creators much closer to that, bellyfelt |
