A lot of people seem to be realizing that knowledge work is mostly pointless. AI might give us the pleasure of finding out what happens if an entire class of workers loses faith in their careers.
I’ve been taking a sabbatical essentially. Living off savings that was supposed to be for a down payment on a house (lol). Got to do a lot of traveling with the kids and I’ve been looking for a similar role elsewhere but haven’t secured anything yet. Thankfully, my wife still makes good money and we’re doing OK financially, but I’m not thrilled about my prospects in my field. It’s hard to be optimistic in a fascist AI hellscape.
What did you go to? Still in tech or did you go down the pipeline to gardening or become a cryptid in the local forest that scares people?

Real.
Glad you have the ability to take that time with family, that is awesome!
Yeah, it really is rough right now. Fascist AI hellscape is accurate.
