    for the last three years and a bit, silicon valley has promised eradication of everything from writer to filmmaker as a career. after all this i don’t think that devs get to hitch their wagon to artists for sympathy points

      That’s a very warped impression of Silicon Valley. And it probably comes from Hollywood movies, which is super ironic since you mentioned writers and filmmmakers.

      Dumb representation of computers in movies has done more to harm their image than actual software ever did. Most of the AI hype is based on fantastic notions of AI as seen in movies.
