  • I’m not sure it’s going to be that. That was the model for the last wave of tech advancement layoffs and job replacements. This one is going to be so much dumber.

    It’s no secret that most companies are stagnant or losing money right now across the board. For many reasons, disposable income is way down, COVID mentality change (people decided they wanted to live instead of just consume), and products have just been getting worse. So, CEOs are using AI to replace jobs that AI cannot yet replace. It immediately makes their bottom line look better for investors while doing nothing useful. This will bite them in the ass soon but they’ll say AI was oversold and it’s not their fault. Meanwhile, they look like the nothing they’re doing to improve their company is working and will survive another day.







  • How you felt, going bonkers, is roughly how many introverts feel being around people. So, the three years that introverts felt good in the history of… forever, many of us would like to keep that. I just ask that extroverts respect how shitty the workforce is especially for introverts and maybe try to get their social needs met in their personal life and not demand that work time also fit only their needs. At the expense of others.







  • I’ve been needing a car for about a year and a half now. My SUV was hit while parked and the insurance payout was atrocious to the market. The car prices especially right at that time made any vehicle out of reach. I’ve been pondering replacing it with a newer (not new) vehicle for the last year or so but the prices are still hyper inflated for even used cars. Thanks to Carvana, it seems. I think the car market will normalize, I think there’s a bubble. And I think buying a car within the last couple of years means you’re upside down in car payments unless the car stays super dependable and doesn’t get in an accident.
