Feeling Sad about AI
Feeling sad about AI September 11, 2026 [Programming, Rust, Tech, Videos] This video doesn't contain any code: feel free to skip it if you like, but either way I'm going to try to keep it short, so see you on the other side :-).

It's about how I'm feeling, and some reasons for why I'm feeling like that, and some hopefully hopeful conclusions.
