+[[Steve Klabnik]] is [disappointed in the AI discourse](https://steveklabnik.com/writing/i-am-disappointed-in-the-ai-discourse/) "all of the discussion online around AI is so incredibly polarized…both the pro-AI and anti-AI sides are loudly proclaiming things that are pretty trivially verifiable as not true"
+
+He recommends two good reads: [The Software Engineering Identity Crisis](https://annievella.com/posts/the-software-engineering-identity-crisis/) and [Algorithmic Underground](https://jmsdnns.com/tech/algo-underground/)
