This is why I hate "just a tool" so so so much.
You can make a calculator without access to every calculation. You can make photoshop without access to all photos.
Someone show me a genai tool that didn't require all of our labour in its production. It's plagiarism software.

Eye popping. Court just unsealed Summary Judgment motions in New York Times v OpenAI / Microsoft.
Easy to see why the AI companies had so many redactions (pink). Their own people wrote the lede for NYT, the "largest theft of labor in human history"... "more and more substitutive..." /1

From Nov 2023 to Jan 2024 I worked on a tool we called the AI sandbox. Our goal: let federal software devs test out AI tools in a safe way, to discover if they have any use.
Renamed GSAi, the tool has been claimed by DOGE. It is being rolled out on an alarming accelerated schedule.

Anyone saying that GenAI could replace software engineers don't understand how software is created (and operated.)
Tool innovations have always make the process of building software faster, cheaper: GenAI and AI agents will also do this.
But these are tools and efficiency gains.
