    Some part of me hopes that the current shit show eventually reaches some sort of conclusion and all of the people that actually have real-world skill sets will get to go back to what they know how to do because the business that ran on capital will have collapsed. I know it’s an unrealistic hope. But it’s a hope nonetheless.

      Most of this is due to Xitter didn’t collapse spectacularly after only a skeleton crew were left working overtime (crunch), so others followed suit, then kept pointing at AI. What we need is strikes, building alternatives so we can actually boycott, etc.

      Unfortunately I have no hope of this happening in our lifetime. Maybe the lifetime of the next generation, but with climate change on the horizon, I have little hope for that as well.

        With climate change on the horizon, people with real, applicable skills will come around again. Because we’re gonna need them when we’re all eating roach stew and 49’ing, like nasty boys in Fallout.
