With the lastest news of AI layoffs, I’m struggling to understand how the idea of a career still holds. If careers themselves effectively become gambles like lottery tickets, how do we maintain drive and hopes in the longterm endgame of our struggles?

I know AI as an honest utility is itself a lie to some extent, but this only aids my argument further. People’s career struggles are panning out to be valueless because of a nothing-fad that no one could have predicted.

    You write as if you had any job security in the pre-AI era…

      Children… Every generation they need to learn the hard time that this is how it always has been!

      I don’t blame them, but you would think their parents who went throught this would try to educate their own kids. But most either too stupid to figure it out or too naive or just plain old bootlickes…

      So here we are, generation in, generation out slaving to make somebody else wealthy.
