A growing segment of our society is tired of serving cushy office workers.
I would not be so sure there isn’t a massive amount of potential energy among the public to put video game companies out of work and increase the pool of “essential workers”.
IMO software engineers should optimize for themselves by walking away from industry rather than give it ownership of their intellectual output to be wielded against them after code writing AI is trained against their work.
Y’all thought you were so smart but hubris often comes with the later realization the effort was used against them. If society can generate content without paying someone it will.
I think we'll see the opposite, a few elites using AI to generate the content they force everyone else to consume.
Perhaps there will be a black market for AI's, there already is one for illegally trained anime AI's.
