AI didn't take your job

The year is 2006, graduated from school and returned back to family business. First thing i do was donating my personal pentium3 computer as a workstation attached with a barcode reader. I instructed to the employees: no more pen and paper. You're going to label and scan every box from now on. Somehow they gaslight my father and machine went to trash, i crossed with family and moved on. So long later he's realized they were stealing items on every shipment.

In my country almost two years of military service was mandatory, went to protect our borders at 2008 and they're assigned me a very simple task which even an educated monkey can do easily. The task was reading soldier training program from a paper, writing them to an excel file and print it out. I did this for couple days and eventually written a VBA macro for that. It was reading the document file, copying the related part and printing it out. Computer was on all the time and it was doing this at every morning 07:00am automatically. Me? i was hanging out at cafe with my fellas, listening their life stories. System worked for one month and someone complained to the captain. I exiled to a border outpost as a patrol guard and finished my sentence at there.

Same Mistake
Fast forwarding to 2011, moved to biggest city of europe, working in biggest gsm company of country. Same situation happened, despite my coding skills they said open this app, click every hostname, check if it's working and send a repair request to field department if not. They was giving me a base rate salary for that, barely enough to survive in big city. Instead i created an early version of datakesh which collects screenshot from computers around the country and sending pre-written e-mail templates if host is unreachable or screenshot is blank. Eventually got fired from there when they notice the messages coming from a software but i heard they implemented a similar solution 5 years later.

Unavoidable Outcome
Returned back to the office and filled a chair when a generation of people retired or passed away. Keeping books with excel, pen and paper still was there while everyone carrying a smartphone on their pocket. First thing i do was building a fully automated web based ERP software which is accessible from anywhere. Keeps production, stocks and money in same place and they can relate with each other. Following what came in, what came out. It worked for a while: less employees, reduced expenses, less risk. It was a technical success but other family members were not happy about it, formed an insider enemy driven by an excessive jealousy.

This pattern repeating since dawn of mankind. Muhammad, Moses, Jesus, Tesla, Galileo, Darwin all oppressed first because their wisdom or innovation conflict with someone's interest. Nowadays people protesting guy X because he offers free internet from space. Protesting guy Y, because immigrants takes their job, protesting guy Z because his new business model makes their business obsolete.

What's happening today
The paper attention is all you need from 2017 combined with pandemic at 2020 and led to development of bigger variants of existing neural networks with less computing cost. All they need was dataset from that point and it made possible with Elon Musk's money which he regretted after. The lawsuit against OpenAI still continues today.

In our era, late 90's and early 2000's we googled almost everything. Everyone had a blog back then. When you intended to do something with Delphi just search and you will be landed to some other guy's blog, forum or a repository of an opensource project. Copy the code, modify until it works.

Elon Musk and Sam Altman concur on that they consumed entire digitally accessible data of mankind by late 2023. Instead of googling we were just asking to chatgpt compiling the code it gave and pasting back the console output to it until it works. That was last year. Recently another platform called devin automated this process too and transformed chatgpt into a digital coder. Ask your requirement and it delivers a fully featured software in any platform you want. No magic, just a huge database with communication skills.

That caused a widespread panic among the C.R.U.D developers. Anyone without any prior coding experience able to do their job today. Most of them became AI enthusiast overnight even have no slightest idea about concept a week before. It's not only about coding btw, it's also impacted the photographers, vfx artists, musicians even youtubers who exploited the platform for years.

My uncle was saying

Picasso eleborated his work into sculpture, Leonardo da vinci became an engineer after being artist. Even if a profession resistant to time itself such as medicine, catering, diplomacy you have to stop in one point and acquire an apprentice to let work for you in exchange of your knowledge. Same logic applies to politics too, elected leaders stick into chair until they pee to their pants because poor fuckers don't have any other profession or skill to survive on rest of their life.

Accessing information has never been easier than this at any point in human history. Technology eliminated the reign of people who exploiting uneducated masses. God's first command was

use the the brain i gave you and survive. AI didn't took your job, you being lazy and kept exploting same crack without putting any effort and you're crying now because of crack is sealed.
