>I'm happy with them paying their taxes and trying to build tech that makes my life better.

But neither of those things is their goal. If they happen to build tech that makes your life better, it's because it makes them money (that, generally speaking, they try not to pay taxes on)

Even if AI doesn't kill every last person, I think it will almost certainly increase the wealth gap. I agree that the tradeoffs will most likely not be worth it.

It is a common opinion (shared by myself and many others, including the streamer Primeagen, for example) that Cursor is much better than Copilot

>The sad thing is that it's becoming much more like America

It cannot help that more and more Americans are moving there.

Expatriation (immigration?) to Portugal from America furthers Portuguese wealth inequality and housing crisis. Lisbon is already basically a playground for foreigners and if you do decide to move there please try to assimilate by learning the language, etc.

Source: Portuguese/US citizen. Lived there for a year with a "good" Portuguese salary of 2000 euros a month; much different lifestyle than what the typical US tech worker is accustomed to. And not doable long term unless you plan to retire in Portugal and not do much travelling.

As somewhat of an AI-generated image hater, I had a lot more fun with this than I was expecting to. Nice work :-)

That sounds like L1 in this article (there are six) https://www.vellum.ai/blog/levels-of-agentic-behavior

competition?

Also I think a large chunk of people will be happy to just consume media all day.
