Burn.
Yeah, I don't think worrying about 450 new CVEs in the Linux kernel each day made me any faster... Or my life as an admin more comfortable... This and fine-tuning all kinds of spam filters, securing web forms, protecting the servers which all get hammered by scrapers... I mean we got a lot to do because of AI. But it all feels kinda unproductive to me. Like the myth of Sisyphus. Bur maybe some admins and devs got quicker shoving the boulder around thanks to AI?!
And like the myth of Sisyphus, it's all about self-inflicted pains.
AI is more like placing a downwards conveyor belt under your feet on the mountain. You get a quicker result, but that result doesn't have you going anywhere useful.
Wasn't Sisyphus a clever rascal who evaded death, pissed off the Gods several times and that's why he got punished? I think it was sacrilege, not really self-inflicted pain. Unless we want to count rebelling against powerful entities as inflicting something upon oneself 😄
I wouldn't say he's clever if he hasn't yet realized he has access to a kinetic weapon against any town or settlement downhill that he has been fruitlessly charging and resetting for ages. At best, I'd say he probably has built up mad upper body strength.
