So fucking depressing. And all of this hoisted on us by talentless, soulless techbro overlords who are busy building secure bunkers for when we finally have had enough and bring the pitchforks out.

It seems they've all been disappointed with latest AI releases, and with uncertainty in markets, who knows - maybe they'll be onto The Next Big Thing sooner than we thought

We should be building miniature guillotines to randomly place by these parasites homes/offices.

If it's of any consolation, I'm right there with you...

Also in marketing, forced to infuse AI everywhere and anywhere possible, and also worried about the baby-to-be's future.

Interestingly, I find myself thinking of my own skill set and what I could realistically pass on to a child that could withstand the test of technology...

Ultimately, I reached the conclusion that focus, adaptability, and self-regulation are the most important skills to master; everything else is replaceable.

I'm just going to tell them to be a plumber.

Oh, man—this killed off what little bit of a lilt I’d started my day with.

Why? Because I don’t like to imagine you dispirited this way at place you depend on for your livelihood.

You’re going to have to find a way to reclaim what you feel you’re losing of your creative agency. Otherwise it’s gonna become a slippery slope. Don’t let that happen.

PS: Good read from my friend Holly, here:

Sorry Mr Woodruff, but I actively seek out and destroy any uplift.

Jobhunting has become a nightmare. AI vs AI. 1000 applications per position, 98% matches are auto-rejected by AI

Grim grim stuff. It's time for schools to be forthright with kids and stop telling them university is the only way to get a job.
