"At least you've got job security"
I am fucking -done- with hearing this.
No, I don't.
My 'job security' is an illusion based on the presumption that, in the event that my skillset is needed - or even essential - that there will be someone who will pay for the privilege of accessing those skills.
Except that the fucking LLM jockeys have decided to claim that their product has my skillset.
Even tho it demonstrably does not, this still means that the people who would presumably hire me are uninterested in doing so, due to the existence of a machine that promises to do it for them.
And when they fail, and their business goes insolvent, they still will not be hiring me because -they no longer have a fucking business to hire me for-.
So no. My carefully built, decades-of-practice skills are -not- job security, despite LLMs being obviously, flagrantly, and blatantly incapable of replacing me.

Furthermore I have -zero- interest in cleaning up -this- mess once the LLMs have turbofucked everyone and ground their infrastructure into unusable rubbish.
Like, seriously, if you ripped out the engine of your car and replaced it with a vat of shit-flavored pudding, do you think that your mechanic would appreciate seeing that towed into her service bay? Especially if you were demanding that it be fixed without the appropriate budget and resources to hazmat-vaporize the fecal slurry and replace it with OEM spec parts?

Not to mention - there's no fucking juniors out there being hired, so I have to do all the scut work that you normally use to -train- juniors, if I want it done right, because - surprise! - nobody's fucking hiring juniors on because they believe the fucking LLM jockeys' bullshit promises.
Anthropic and everyone like them can go fucking eat shit.

@munin this is what I keep yelling at coworkers... even if we technical professionals can see past the facade, the decision makers with power over us cannot
