Not only that.

There's plenty of us with Twitter taglines such as "changing the world one line of code at the time," but I've been around a while that if tech has changed the world, it's not always for the better. It's not always to make the masses more powerful. Not all of us are working on sending rovers to Mars or curing Parkinson's.

Like everything else, AI will be used to control us, to advertise to us, to reduce variance between each other. To pay us less. To make plutocrats more rich, and everybody else poorer.

But at least you now have a personal assistant, smart recommendation engines and AI generated porn to keep you busy.
