The blasé attitude with which people talk about “moving up the stack” as if it’s a foregone conclusion that it’s the right thing to do or even an accurate description of what’s happening is easily one of the most disheartening aspects of this whole movement.

Why are you on here? Shouldn't you be in the fields or something?

This feels more like a comment that belongs on Reddit than on HN.

Not at all:

They need to walk the walk. Or accept that they themselves haven't stopped to think before they "moved up the stack".

We (humans) have been moving up the stack since...well, forever. Or at least since we started writing things down.

We aren't all dead yet. (And we ain't just hunter-gatherers no more, neither!)

Difference is humans arent on the top of the stack anymore, AI is.

So the AI is on top? Someone had better make a plan to go back from the future and keep Sarah Connor safe or we're all just fucked!

Or maybe instead: Someone has already done that and that is why we're not presently fucked.

Or, more realistically: The sky is not actually falling, just as it has also not fallen with any previous introduction of automation.

My opposable thumbs and AIs lack of ability to stop me pulling the power cord say otherwise

This is like thinking a gun just shoots people; nah it's human use of the gun

Why do you think it isn't?

Those who refused to move up the stack are clinging to the few remaining trees.
