Peterin a class on using AI for data analysis and i genuinely don't want to work in information technology anymore. none of this shit works and everyone is required to use it anyway. it sounds like hell. i would literally rather flip burgers or whatever.
feels like the worst time to be alive if you are the kind of person who is passionate about learning to do things the right way.
Violet MadderYeah, it's bad and getting worse fast.
I can't even use normal search engines to look up news that I clearly remember from a few weeks ago. Everything useful is being buried under an avalanche of shit.
"AI" is a weapon, we are under attack, and more people need to recognize the threat for what it is.
Daughter of DiscordThere are news stories I remember - ones that back leftwing points of view - that are just gone now, it seems.
And articles about regular stuff are all written by AI and full of just wrong information.

It's time for (some of) us to become archivists. Keep copies and/or notes of anything we care about.

Ankh-Morpork 🌱@peter All I can say as a 30-year tech participant, is I agree with you about the current state of things, and I believe there is still a foundation of principled work out there. Some people really want it and care about it; there's just a huge amount of noise overshadowing those people right now. I truly believe it's temporary, but I also sympathize with anyone moving to work outside the industry. I've had similar thoughts myself.

Armando@peter there is still hope. As we are very niche and the Systems are very proprietatory we need to teach it. No AI. The Young ones are good and want to learn. Yes, we are falling back to books, to hands on sessions. Old books, but these are our new seniors. We have to teach them our skills and they want to learn.
