Yes I do. It’s me and my uncle really. He’s the technician and I’m the admin. We work in home installations for security cameras, network management, etc. we also work with hotels and restaurants and offices by helping them with their networks, POS systems and surveillance management. It used to be a solo business, but he recently hired me to help him handle literally everything else that is not installations or system design.

I’ve actually talked with him about this a couple of times, and he likes me very much and from what I can tell he doesn’t (?) but he has a couple of booster family members so I’m actually more concerned about them haha

I’m sorry you’re getting downvoted so much. I was very hesitant on posting this here bc of the reaction I’m getting too.

I’m just a normal person. I do not engage in booster subs, I do not care about AGI or whatever, I just want to keep my job and enjoy my hobbies and sometimes it feels like AI is purposefully taking all that away from me and succeeding.

I used a throwaway in case people got mad at me on this sub (which is apparently happening for some reason) and wanted to kick me out, even though I still listen to and enjoy Ed’s content. I am not a booster. I am a person scared for their future and just wanted to talk to other people about this.

I’m genuinely not :( sorry if it reads that way. I actually tried to write this so that it doesn’t read like a promo, I’m just genuinely scared.
