This has been a useful chart at many times in my life. Seems to be relevant now as the world is disrupted by AI.

Many jobs in many industries are being affected by AI and it will only accelerate as AI advances.
Job choices will change dramatically. Most coding tasks will go away. Sorry. 😞
These are the emotions many will experience:

I'm wondering where all this will leave us, in five years or so. I'm not doomy, actually – I think it's like Tamagotchis or Pogs or something, and we'll find ways of reprioritising human feeling and human effort and human writing.
But god, this bit is boring, isn't it.

You are expressing feelings that many others are feeling across diverse sectors of our society, myself included. Careers and skill sets and even relationships being challenged by rapid change and the uncertainty it brings.

The disruptions caused by AI will touch ever facet of human endeavor. We are only in the warmup round.

I have written software and understand deeply how the creative process works to come up with truly beautiful and elegant code.
But the world is moving on. Change can be painful.

Humans are becoming largely irrelevant in coding. Like blacksmiths after the invention of the automobile - coding will become an interesting niche or novelty skill.

One thing is certain - the human mind is now being molded more decidedly by the tool of AI than it has by any other tool humans have created - perhaps more than the printing press.

The lines between AI assisted excellent work and completely human-derived excellence are blurring rapidly if not already completely inintertwined.
What AI is doing is allowing a more rapid creation and exploration of ideas. The value of those ideas is up to the future to determine. 1/2

Eventually it will just be AI written papers reviewed by AI, while humans simply become irrelevant.

This seems like it should be a priority. There are going to many gold nuggets in those papers.

I really really hate the phrase “there is no other explanation.”
I know DM theorists are chomping at the bit to find their beloved dark particle, but there are always other explanations…

The 20 GeV Fermi Halo Excess: Why Dark Matter Is Not the Only Explanation
