Standard disclaimer from me that if you are forced to do it by people who have power over you then that is different from doing things voluntarily. You can still “just quit your job” but you have less agency.

I also use AI, not for muh agents but for asking questions. Even when I’m not forced to, unfortunately.

> I still don't think AI is magic, and I'm still cautious about the broader picture; the environmental, financial, and social questions haven't gone anywhere. But for me, right now, the day-to-day reality is that I can move faster, think bigger, and ship more than I could before. And that's been genuinely fun.

Three categories of concern, two of which are relevant for the well-being of commoners, and you still go ahead with it? Why? Because being productive and having fun is more important than the environment and driving people into social crises?
