Unfortunately what Brexit truly meant was: UK citizens voted to no longer have a voice in EU. And now, as a neighbour, the UK must adapt and comply. The worst part is, the UK had a very advantageous position in EU and, in case of rejoin, will no longer have it (most likely). What a own goal ☹️

"Sometimes They Come Back" 🧟‍♂️
I agree, I consider programming in Rust just a better "ruleset" without the extra bag of GC, VM etc.
AI is another tool of tech automation, so will be robots (wait to see what will happen to many jobs when those will be ready). We are all destined to lose our current job for automation, but automation also creates new jobs BTW. But the costs of AI are a completely different and new story.
This is what happens with every new tech my friend. No more people ironing horses right? No more people delivering ice. In our life we saw anaolg phone technicians job disappear, many accountants losing their jobs because computers made one accountant enough. It's not endemic to AI.
There is no match between productivity boost value AI produces vs investments and costs on the infrastructure.
What is taking jobs is something else: Cheaper contracts, less interest on pushing certain markets and different interest rates. AI has become an investment panacea which is a lot more appealing to most CEOs seeking for investors money.
I am not convinced, sorry. Boosting some people’s productivity as many other tools do, isn’t taking people’s jobs. Remember IDEs boosted dev productivity a lot compared to early editors, but we ended up also developing more features and more software.
'the hell? it's 4:36am... lol anyway, new UltimaVM PUSH/POP register range fast memory copy is done and there is also a little "twist" POP supports both strick LIFO (like the JVM) and natural order (like the ARM). Had to finish so late, because I had a hell of a busy day at work... Need some sleep!
TBH, AI isn't doing anyone's job. It's just an exuse in the US to hire cheaper H1-B, and in the UK we do things in "secret", but yes same story, Loyds will move to India over 4000 IT jobs before the end of 2025. While the crazy money being used in AI is for infrastructure, so Data Centers, HW etc.
