I am currently unemployed, which is almost the main reason i even had the time and energy for this website. but as life would have it, now i must return to being a responsible adult as to being an unemployed and irresponsible one. it.. has been ... hard. i am not going to lie. i did not have time at all the whole of last year and this year to even apply for jobs, i just looked after a sick parent and hoped their illness would go away. while i was chronically online, i honestly did not expect the sheer scale at which ai has completely changed the job market as a whole.
there are prompts you need to hide inside your resume now to even be considered as a candidate because instead of a human HR an ai is assessing whether a person is a viable candidate or not. after like unsurmountable applications i submitted, i got one chance. two rounds of written exams and an interview and as life would have it, i bombed my interview. they maybe liked atleast my performance in the exams i have another chance but it is again a company working with ai and everything building and training it. even if i were to join the company essentially i am just working towards making their ai so good that they wont need me anymore
this just makes me tired of even trying. one contant thought is what is even the point? whats the point? it makes me a pessimistic jerk, but honeslty what is the point? in the grand scheme of things what am i? i just want to live a simple life, which is honestly a luxury. it is a luxury that a simple human cannot afford. it is either generational wealth or those who are already woking in ai that are building wealth. everyone else, every other job can pack their things and leave at some point in the future because ai will take over. not skilled workers ofcourse. but those will be demolished by the governments so.. again.. what is the freaking point?
while this may seem like a fear mongering rant and something that is way far in the future that might happen to our children and not us, it is still a possibility and with the way LLMs have taken over in just two years, that future might be closer than we thing it is.
