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.
I can’t predict the future but that very much sounds like something our overlords would do.
I can totally see it happening because these companies are so dead set on cutting costs that they’re not seeing the bigger picture.
