Regret? Of what? The tech is here. You won't slow it down by not using it. People need to either adapt by moving to more and more niche areas, or become the person to be retained when the efficiency gains materialize. We still don't have the proper methodology figured out, but people are working on it.

That said, I'd agree that people who currently claim 20x speedups will indeed be replaced.

If enough people refuse to use it then we can absolutely slow it down

So I'm doing that. Even if I don't expect to "win" in the end, I'm doing what I think is right

Maybe one day I'll be vindicated

At the very least I can look my kids in the eye when they're working age that I didn't happily help bring in their bleak futures.

> You won't slow it down by not using it.

Then why is it forced into everywhere and everyone and everything?

[exfalso]

It's because of simple FOMO of companies. If they don't "invest" in it they will be left behind. Which is true. However, the way they invest is equally (if not more) important. E.g. MS is a good example of how not to do it.

Because they don't want you to realize that you have the power to reject garbage then have the government punish them for creating such waste.
