Ah, if (2) happens i will just walk out. No more brain. I refuse to work on those conditions.

And if that's the situation everywhere, i'll just go back being a tradesman, i love working with my hands, and there's been abundance of work for any skilled individual in any trade for more than a decade.

Now, my attitude may change when we get back to decent prices for hardware capable of running local models. I can be fine with local models, but not the current corpo owned shitshow. See what's happening with anthropic. They reserve the right to keep the chats for security concerns if you use bad words in the prompt, even if they are breaking contracts. Gee, who would have fucking guessed? Their most valuable asset is their training data and OF COURSE they're going to suck up new brain activity from everywhere they can. (like who was really surprised when it came out that microsoft was training copilot on private repos?)

Well yeah, that's what the blogpost is talking about.

We are entering the age of forced AI usage or quit the field entirely.
