I don't have any hopes whatsoever for my future anymore after having worked hard to reach the point I am, and the future looks as bleak as ever.
If you are in a good place now thanks to your hard work, you should have more faith in yourself that regardless of the time you live in, your good qualities will help see you through more situations :)
Reading AI shit every single day, even when it's hyped, and knowing it's coming for everyone no matter its actual capabilities is driving me insane
One thing I always do when scrolling through Twitter etc is try to see the conflicts of interests of the people spreading AI FOMO. They inevitably have something they want to sell, or an AI company, or are trying to position themselves as thought leaders to secure an investment. In today's world, everyone is trying to sell us something or trying to tell us what to think. Let's be strong and not fall for it! I agree with some of the other commenters about disconnecting from social media, and talking to real people in the living world, not disembodied voices online!
I don't get what the point of existing is anymore if the only two paths left in life are either a rat race to death and being reduce to a mere commodity for menial tasks that cannot be automated with current technology, or basically not having anything to do whatsoever because you cost too much and AI can do whatever you do at an acceptable quality.
The world is so beautiful, and we are so young. If you have the resources, try to travel, to another country, or city or neighborhood. There are people from all walks of life who have never even heard of AI, and who are happily going about their business. We are just like those people, we are small specks on the scale of the universe. Let's celebrate the life we have. In our world there is a lot of anguish, war, hunger, it's also worth remembering all the blessings we have.
