@GossiTheDog John Carpenter nailed it with IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS.

I very nearly did that myself a few months ago (I walked out mid shift due to reasons) and I'm not even employed in InfoSec or forced to use AI

@simonzerafa @davep @GossiTheDog hi, I feel Im in the same boat.
Self-emploiment is on the table if this shit last too long.
Actually, I kind of expect this to be something rather common because there must be many of skilled people who refuses to be part of this llm-mania. -

@GossiTheDog I'm also looking for a job and on most of the interviews they aks how AI changing the threat landscape or how I utilise it and when I approach it critically and I point out the enslopification or I'm any way skeptical. I see that's not wat the] wanted to hear. They all want to hear how great it is.
I feel like I have to say it's the next industrial revolution or some shit like that to get hired. -
@GossiTheDog I wish everyone losing their jobs to this garbage had enough money & influence to get together & start a good software & hardware company together, but it seems to be mostly the people on the "bottom", who do the actual work but have no influence or money.
@jackemled @GossiTheDog so - digital commune time? Maybe a co-op living place somewhere with low cost of living?

@GossiTheDog
Someone here circulated the idea to form a consultancy and clean up the mess that AI created elsewhere. It may not be pretty work, but it'll sure get a lot of demand over time

@GossiTheDog AI is an addicting technology. Thats why.

@meriksson @GossiTheDog I'd go Zumba and bouldering, on occasion Bungee jumping...

@GossiTheDog In 5 years, you will realize that AI has changed the whole world economy. Almost as much as NFTs have.

@GossiTheDog What's "AI mad"?
I mean, I use (preferably local) LLMs pretty much daily but it's like saying I use a compiler daily or reverse engineering software daily. LLMs are just one tool of many, not something magical.

@GossiTheDog it might just be the people chronically on LinkedIn who losing their minds. From my own minuscule industry survey, there are at least some people out there keeping it all in perspective.

I don't know where you work, but these competent people hire and prohibit AI : https://mamot.fr/@Octopuce/116613224281021534 -

I'm pretty sure I didn't get an offer because I said the fintech place I was interviewing at should have more scrutiny of the AI code because they were fintech and that would slow down the AI pace a little.
The guy tried to hide his sigh but I saw it and knew that was not what he wanted to hear

@merospit @GossiTheDog you gotta wonder, haven't you, whether it'll take longer for the ai bubble to pop than to find a new job
@ASprinkleofSage @merospit @GossiTheDog
I'm looking for a job so hopefully the bubble pops soon

@GossiTheDog LinkedIn is horrible for the job search now. I think the tides have turned and not doing any applications directly through it is your best bet.
Going human to human gets you a lot further - feels awkward maybe but emailing old colleagues and friends and asking if they have any leads is well worth doing. Also applying to places where it's via emailing a CV/résumé to a human being.
Finding the jobs is harder without a search engine though ofc...

@GossiTheDog gather your tools, there is plenty that needs fixing. Simplify simplify simplify, stop feeding the machine that’s ending us #anthropocene
