    Won’t anyone think of the environment or small communities? AI is a nice-to-have, not an essential. We need to stop developing technology without thinking long term about the world we live in. We can’t use the “oh we didn’t know” excuse anymore.

      Software Developers need to learn that there is a world outside of their projects. I do not care if it makes your life easier, this technology is having worldwide impacts we are not prepared for. It’s leaf blower mentality. They don’t care that the neighborhood stinks like 2 stroke exhaust, they don’t care that it’s loud as hell, they don’t care where the leaves go, their yard is clean and that’s all that matters.
