How do you all deal with the guilt of leaving a comany/ team? I have been working at Microsoft for 1 year now, and seriously considering moving. I find the code base to be very legacy and I mostly work on obscure bugs that I spend so much time on, mostly due to navigating this large code base and not having much docs to refer to. Hence I find the job slightly unsatisfying, and that I could learn more elsewhere. However, I love the wlb, the team and company culture. The guilt stops my applying.

Yep, I wasn't aboard the AI hype till I saw Deepseek. It's reasoning capability is frighteningly impressive.
I am somewhat concerned for my job prospects, but the following points give me hope:
- Capitalism works on perpetual growth, technologists aid that growth. If you're not employing technologists and your competitors are, they will get ahead. Thus, companies will always employ technologists. At the point AI is smarter than humans, we either won't have to work, or we'll be dead.
- A smart and experienced person with an AI is more effective than a dumb and inexperienced person with an AI.
- The first people to go will be those that do repeatable, simple tasks. This is not what technologists do.
Why is anyone considering it a threat all of a sudden. It's better than o1 but not a step change... it's incremental.
Are people taking out because it's not American? Why? Are they surprised that China can compete?
China sends the maximum number of researchers to AI conference for the last 10 years. And if you count Chinese nationals representing institutions outside China? It's even more disproportionate.
Only a matter of time.
China is really destroying some people’s feelings in here 🤣🤣🤣

I can understand the concern, but I’m not too worried. I believe the real challenge isn't going to be being beaten by AI itself, but by those who know how to leverage it. In the future, those who can harness the power of AI will have the upper hand, and that’s where we need to focus our energy—learning to use AI responsibly and effectively.
