"In a time of drastic change it is the learners who inherit the future. The learned usually find themselves equipped to live in a world that no longer exists." — Eric Hoffer, 1973

The faster you get to acceptance, the sooner you can move on, and make the most of our new reality.

There's nothing kind about letting good people live in a fantasy world that no longer exists. You have to tell them, even if it hurts. Because the sooner they accept reality, the sooner they can adapt to the future.

I recently went through a translation of Musashi’s Book of Five Rings. The introduction chronicled the evolution of swordsmanship and martial arts in general from pragmatic battlefield necessities to sports, historical curiosities, and hobbies. It was interesting to hear how in the post-WW2 occupation when martial arts were banned, Judo was represented as equivalent to western wrestling, and Kendo later to western fencing. The poignant undercurrent for me is that I can see many programming skills following that path. There are probably dozens of people reading this that remember hand assembling opcodes to hex and still have some magic numbers burned into their memory, but even the small group of people still programming in assembly today (hey, @FFmpeg !) don’t work at that primitive level now. AI is making many other programming skills much less critical. We aren’t there yet, but carefully writing code completely by hand is moving from a -jitsu to a -do. Code-do? Codo? That’s ok! The retro computing scene is delightful, full of people building and exercising old skills for the love of it. But don’t be the out of touch Kung Fu master, heir to lifetimes of tradition, that gets mauled by an amateur MMA fighter. Musashi would probably have been pretty enthusiastic about assault rifles.

incredible how programmed we all are, and how sharp the turns have become.

If it was actually important to "pace the frontier", wouldn't the first step be to limit the amount of capital that AI companies can raise? Funny how he doesn't mention that at all. Nobody should trust these guys to influence policy.

Be earnest, sincere, and brave. We are done with cynicism, irony, and cowardice. The next turning is here.
