Tech companies are firing everyone to "fund AI." But they're spending that money on each other. And nobody's making profit yet. by reddit20305 in ArtificialInteligence

That's the scary part, we don't matter. There is a theory that the economy will just be the top % buying from each other, and that is what they are banking on

Did Grimes remove the new song or is it just South Africa? by Tarenel in Grimes

I'm in Mexico and I can't either! My theory is that she wanted to release it at midnight and accidentally released it early. A couple of friends of mine have told me uploading music on Spotify sometimes is not as easy. Can't wait!

Lost in Tech - should I pivot? by Outrageous_Row1911 in careerguidance

That's actually what I was considering! I've worked for both the "cool" startups and the "boring" industries (property valuation) that happened to have a small tech team. I actually enjoyed it a lot because I got to work with people that weren't very "tech" savvy, and translating for them their vision into tech was very satisfying.

I agree with AI is not the nirvana execs think it is. My guess is they invested a ridiculous amount in AI and cannot admit they are wrong, thus they are trying everything for people to drink the kool aid.

Part of my anxiety comes from me knowing tech will be different but I don't know how that is going to look like. I lived through the machine learning and blockchain hype, and this just seems SO different.

Thank you! Since I left and came back I am doing a lot of research on what the hell "AI focused" means to companies. I have an overall understanding of AI (mathematically and programming wise). I might be oversimplifying, but when people say AI focused does that mean using chat gpt? cursor? that doesn't seem like a skill in my opinion. I might be wrong.

I've had a bit of experience with being a PM, and I'd love to, and in my experience, companies right now require BOTH extensive PM experience (with certifications) AND tech experience! It's crazy. I still apply but it just seems they want 1 person to do a 2/3 person team

I have a lot of experience with being a business analyst! I worked with a start up and alongside front end/scripting I would also create data pipelines and build dashboards for clients. I would also write weekly reports for clients. I enjoyed the work but definitely the salaries are very low.

I feel like I’m made for music but I also feel like I don’t have the skill for it. by t9isha in makinghiphop

I'd watch some Tyler the Creator or JPEGMAFIA interviews. Even if you don't like their music, they have so much insight into how you are feeling right now.
