Have absolutely had enough of AI this & AI that. Everywhere I've been looking regarding work is nothing but. Try to relax on a computer, even more & worse AI. "You've got to join us or you'll be left behind!" not just at work but also in technical stuff I do for fun. I'm not dusting off my 15 year old undergrad notes about ML or "learning to vibe code productively".
Been slow-boiling my brain. Especially anyone who thinks pushback is actually oppressing them. You've got billionaires backing you!

"People are being mean to/about me."
Ok, that obviously sucks. You're probably just trying to keep up with where things look like they're going. But if we don't let people let off steam about AI (and everyone chasing it) then it's going to get actual nasty real quick (before we even consider how many corporate job slashing exercises have already been carried out under the claim that this is clearing the way for a newly AI-optimised "productive" _smaller_ workforce).

What really bugs me is LLMs trying to suggest how I should reply to people. I generate the content here. LLMs can go do a long read on a short dataset.
