I have a plan: we pass a law that any contract intended for the public (ToS, various other terms and conditions, privacy policies, etc) must be at the average reading level of the American public. We’ll either incentivize better education or better contracts. Maybe both!

Also other than a few outliers (gaming) IT and development jobs have been pretty good in recent history. There hasn’t been much push for change until the circumstances shifted.

Yeah if this won I’d hope it would lead to the “stop killing hardware” movement next.

It legitimately is squeezing out the entry level already and that is its own problem. Maybe it’s good for some of us, in that people with experience will be needed for a long time as they prevent all these younger people from getting that experience, but it absolutely sucks for a whole bunch of people trying to make a career, and it will eventually suck for the economy as a whole. AI, whether it’s ready or not, or will even ever be fully what the marketing people claim it is, is leading to a whole lot of shortsighted decisions that are hurting people.

And the movies are still fine. I can’t think of a single role in either film where Will Smith replacing the actor would have improved the film. He’s not really a good fit for either one imo.
