Why not simply hire them to do something that isn't pointless - like dig ditches or clean garbage
Are you arguing that since we think we're all special that we should be accepting that other people think they're special?
Meanwhile, people getting laid off (just so the jobs could be exported to countries with more poverty and lower pollution, worker's rights, and standards for working conditions) were getting berated that they should "learn to code" for decades, while we laughed and discussed our stock options.
We? Sorry, I'm one of the "newer" engineers that joined the industry right before the AI bubble.
I didn't laugh or discuss my stock options. I accepted what jobs were available post-COVID crash.
