@splitshockvirus my snarky answer is I've gotten three jobs already using AI but I admit that AI is wiping out a bunch of jobs that aren't coming back and that's bad.

@sun Cool I've been out of work for 2 years and all I've learned is all job posting sites are flooded with AI applications and your qualifications are meaningless when everyone says they can do exactly what you can but for cheaper.  You don't even get emails back from entry positions anymore.

My job still exists an AI didn't take it. procurement decided that eight h100 graphics cards could eventually be turned into a product that people would buy, but it's going to cost a lot of capital to acquire them so fire two employees, that bet turned out to be wrong but at least they have hardware that might retain its value.

So it's not that I even care about AI it's that people are being oversold on its value.  There's not a market recompiling halo 3 to run with skate 3 assets but that's technically something I could do.

@splitshockvirus it's really bad and I'm sorry it's happening to you (anybody, really.)
