AI ruined the tech industry? I don't know when you started working as a tech, but it was ruined long before that. Blaming AI for the problems of corporate control of technology is not an intelligent thing to do.

“Corporate control existed before AI” and “AI has made working in tech dramatically worse” can both be true. Not everyone works in FAANG Roland. I’m talking about losing the joy, niche work and security that made this career worth pursuing ffs my guy…

Also this is a 300 character Bluesky post, not a peer reviewed paper or dissertation. I have the right to be frustrated about this. Calling me “unintelligent” because a 300-character post lacked your preferred nuance is certainly a choice. People like you make this industry especially shit.

My career was going so well for years and years until LLMs have been forced into every single facet of the industry. Every single other person is miserable or fearing for their job because of this bullshit. It’s such a shame to know that capitalism truly can get worse.

i started studying to get into web development or software engineering during my free time back in like 2021 only for this stuff to rear its ugly head and make me realize that becoming a painter like i actually wanted originally was somehow becoming about as safe.

I'm finally hard committing to my dreams of writing and studying language/people more. Fuck it. An author is more important today than ever before, and my finally being on ADHD pills has already made me quite a bit more capable at consistently writing. X3

Currently looking into maybe doing online uni to study Sociology or English for my undergrad. uvu

People in trades love AI they use it every day

You can't "AI" your way out of learned trade secrets and skill.

That's not what I said, I just said they use AI all the time
