In that spirit; Shamelesly stolen from [2], I really like the perspective the linked blog article [1] gives on motivation and how the destruction of intellectual communities through AI will mean issues of motivation.

Hmmh. But thinking about this further: we should still remind ourselfs to life despite it all. It's easy nowadays to get overwhelmed by all the negative news, by the feeling of uncertainty when faced with sloppy but "good enough" code, unease when watching our economies prepare for war or dread when watching friends struggeling with the failing job "market".
But still, we have a life they don't have. And we can always fill it with so much: Build communities, explore, discover, … It will be fine
