Eventually this is going to crater. Ammunition experienced a similar situation where it was being diverted to government contracts for years plus panic buying led to high prices. Then they came down again once demand normalized.

As AI improves it will program hand like robotics or tool attachments to be able to do this work. This is in the pipeline. They already have workers in China, Indonesia, Vietnam and others wearing cams to capture what they do with their hands so it can be consumed and replicated by AI. It’s only a matter of time. Then there is the replication of an issue we already had. Everyone is going into trades now same as everyone went into colleges before. Long term it will lead to surplus workers in that given field. Best thing to do is be agile and willing to learn and adapt as things shift. Link: https://deepmind.google/blog/gemini-robotics-2-brings-whole-body-intelligence-to-robots/

I have seriously considered just getting a small pc to just run as an emulator with a a few thousand arcade and old school console games and call it done. It would be more fun.

There is no point to consoles anymore. It used to be that consoles were easy to use and cheaper while PCs were more expensive and complex. That is no longer the case. Computers are stupid easy now and consoles have become too expensive. Nintendo excluded they are the only ones doing old console case where it is for children.

Booo, I freaked out we need Yogurt in the new movie he is working on.

It’s only going to get worst. I am already seeing those at work double check anything you say against an LLM and they come back with some version of well ChatGPT says… They don’t realize how much of a sycophant LLMs can be and if you ask a question a certain way it will just agree with you and find some kind of BS data to back you up.
