This stuff is good! This is what a booming economy looks like. There are people out there competing with you for resources because they have cool ideas they want to implement.

Or at least they asked the AI to come up with cool ideas, which is even more interesting. It's exciting watching the world transition away from humanity being in the driver's seat!

Layoffs by the 10s of thousands, food prices out of control, people barely able to afford gas. At least some tech bros can launch their 50th B2B SaaS. I didn't realize a booming economy sucked so much.

The exciting thing about AI is precisely that it'll let software move beyond Yet Another B2B SaaS and into doing useful things in the real world. I regularly ride in driverless cars! That was the stuff of science fiction when I was a kid.

If you're worried about food prices, you should be happy that robots will make agriculture less labor-intensive and bring prices down.

probably worth asking when those prices will come down.

Automation has been making food steadily cheaper for 300+ years, and continues to do so. Sometimes the price of oil goes up so much that fuel and fertilizer price increases negate the wins from automation, but automation is still generating wins and will only accelerate as robots get smarter.
