    I haven’t lost my job, I’ve lost my career. Not being able to continue working due to lack of jobs is staggering, because I have to make a living one way or another.

    I’ve also completely lost my trust in this profession, because even if I manage to get back up on my feet, how much time will pass and will I still remember all my techniques that allowed me to stand out?

    And how much longer until the next crisis if the entire tech industry’s C-level showed to be extremely excited about the idea of getting rid of me by any means necessary?

      Right but how exactly did AI make that happen? The execs are always trying to shitcan workers as they are the most valuable but also most expensive assets of any company. But you gave me 2 examples of NOT ai making you loose your job and have yet to explain how AI has screwed you. I understand it helps to be mad at something, just haven’t heard how you lost ur job due to AI specifically. The job market and economy as a whole is in the shitter right now and I don’t think it’s AI’s fault, in fact the investment in AI is the only think that’s making our economy LOOK less shit than it is, granted it’s incredibly inflated and bound to collapse at any moment.

        You seem to be focused on the perspective that to lose experts to AI means that the AI may literally outperform people and thus lead to them getting fired.

        What I’m trying to say is that it’s not the only way a man can get expunged from the industry.

        AI made it blatantly obvious that the C-level is extremely hostile and threatening to anyone beneath them. That if you fire enough people you will create a whilpool that will expand and start devouring even the most capable professionals. That efficiency befenits are only for the higherups, your expected performance will extend without any benefit.

        The advent of AI didn’t generate these issues, but it augmented them far beyond human limits.

        AI makes that happen because the execs believe the lies of the AI companies and/or use them as excuses for their bad decisions during or following COVID to lay people off.
