In our post-AI era, is job security strictly mythical? Or How to believe in careers as a concept worth doing?

In our post-AI era, is job security strictly mythical? Or How to believe in careers as a concept worth doing? - monero.town

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.

Saying AI is a nothing fad makes you sound like a boomer in the late 90’s and early 00’s talking about the internet. It is definitely not a fad. It will affect 80% of all jobs on the planet over the next 10 years.

Is it possible that I miss out on valuable insights by immediately dismissing the opinions of anyone who refers to machine learning as AI?

Sure.

Will I stop doing it?

Sure as hell not.

Indeed. Though that's only my surface level complaint.

On a deeper level; LLMs just fuckin' suck ass. They aren't people, stop assuming they can do things that people can do.

I don’t think they suck ass as long as you understand their limitations, but everyone seems to expect them to be able to fully replace human thought and uh, yeah they’re pretty bad if that’s your goal.
