I mean Microsoft is now building the AI that will take livelihood of hundreds of millions of people and according to some might be the first step towards AI wiping out humanity. So the jury is still out.

It’s amazing that the same tech people (I am one) are now whining that technology is coming along to take their job. But were telling “lower skilled” workers they should adapt and “learn to code”.

I guess people who are complaining should learn how to do the skilled trades - electricians, plumbers, HVAC, car repair.

No one working in tech told anyone to learn to code. That whole thing came up during debates about the Green New Deal displacing fossil fuel jobs, and people actually said we needed programs to realign those workers into green energy jobs. The "learn to code" thing was what anti-GND opponents claimed they were being told, to foment anger.
