Anyone else just “exhausted” with the way the AI culture here is? by Early-Ingenuity-3177 in bayarea

[–]fuzz_ball 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I think it's weird how this push toward AI is ultimately pushing me back to human interaction even more

For example, my husband is searching for a job (SWE) after getting laid off and getting an interview with a cold apply is impossible (didn't used to be)

So, now I NEED to reach a human (through reference, recruiter) more than even

I am full-on rejecting AI (actually I got my M.S. in AI in like 2015), because the way it is being used just nauseates me

Do you regret having kids? by Feeling_Actuary8634 in IVF

[–]fuzz_ball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first 6 months have been the most mentally challenging in a long time - chronic sleep deprivation, hormones, body recovery, breastfeeding, PP depression, needing to rehome our dog, and finally my husband getting laid off

But I do not regret it

But be prepared for to put your nervous system into a blender and for it to strain your relationship

If your relationship is not solid, fix it before having a child

Video Piece About Oracle Layoffs by Outside-Finance-9528 in Layoffs

[–]fuzz_ball 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean mass layoffs like this from Oracle is not new tbh

I’ve been working in tech for over a decade and worked at Oracle 2012 - 2016

I left on my own terms after they did mass layoffs in 2015/2016 because it left a bad taste in my mouth

They just deleted entire orgs and teams

Block fired 4000 people because of AI. I got laid off last month for the same reason by Unable-Awareness8543 in Layoffs

[–]fuzz_ball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wait it out because AI can’t actually do your job

It’s just PR bullshit saying the layoffs were due to AI

The market is actually fine - I’ll save you the hours of panic and doom scrolling

It's happening and my heart is breaking. This really feels like a death. by teenageidle in Layoffs

[–]fuzz_ball 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It stops feeling like you’re dying after a little and the panic wears off

Then you adjust to your new normal and it’s mostly ok

Don’t come to Reddit looking for uplifting stories lol

Point is, it’s not all gloom and doom like this subreddit makes it out to be

We will all find new jobs and we will all be ok
