> However, despite all of that, I can't help but really cringe at the way he handles ethical objections, though I suppose thinking deeply on morality is not a requirement for donning aforementioned Big Boy Engineering Pants.

I mean, if software engineering were _proper_ engineering, then considering ethics would be very much a part of being a proper software engineer. However, in practice (I say this as a 'software engineer'), 'software engineering' is largely marketing for something much less... rigorous than the name implies.

Great how he calls out the "shove these ethical concerns up your ass" argument. That's not the kind of thing to brush aside like that.

In general, I really appreciate how Ludic gives some much needed pushback against the AI hype. Sure, AI is interesting, but when everything has to shove AI into everything (or at least pretend to) in order to have a chance at funding, you know things have gotten way out of control.
