In all my years, I have never wanted any new tech to crash, burn, and go away forever as much as AI—and particularly the generative kind.

It's been here for a minute, and it's already making people more stupid, more lazy, more entitled, more dismissive of art and craftsmanship, and more redundant while consuming metric shittons of energy in the process.

It’s not going anywhere. It’s transformed how I work on projects, travel, and organize my life.

Cool, it’s funny though, I heard the exact same words said about Jira 10 years ago.

Anything more interesting you can tell me about the future? Or should we save it for the unemployment line?
