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.
Job security became a myth long before AI.
The only person who won’t fire you is you.
Someone’s never had a depressive episode.
You are very wrong about that, but I still never fired me. 🤷♂️
UPDATE: Downvoted for admitting that I, too, have battled severe clinical depression. Well done.
I want to know who goes around giving a single downvote to entirely personal and uncontroversial comments. Happens to almost every single one of my comments. I’d rather have five or ten downvotes than just one. I dunno, I know I shouldn’t let it bother me, but it does.
Let it bother you, then don’t let it ruin your day. People are delightful and strange. 🤷♂️
