I woke up this morning. again. so. I just want to do what I always want to do and curl into a ball with a blanket over my head. Im addicted to this whole food and shelter thing though so I guess I will push through the molasses and send out resumes.
I mean Im used to serial unemployment and have had to be searching at least like half a dozen times in my life. Some of those quite long with temping and such during it. This is patently the worst I have ever experienced.
Im kinda old and its all very surreal to me. I did well in school and went into stem and dreamed of doing research. I think I envisioned a star trek kind of future where researching was what many people did and automation and such would make us a more egalitarian society. I spent my youth seeing the next millenium around the corner and thinking it would be the start of a true human eutopia. Then the millenium actually came and things just got worse and worse and worse.
I don’t think achieving agi and automation is gonna end well for us plebs sadly, maybe im too pessimistic but they need us cause we are their worker ants, what happens when they don’t ?
