Made this thread a #substack post (hey also please follow me on substack too if you use it 😊) https://open.substack.com/pub/stickycomics/p/get-a-job-in-ai-they-said?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=1vdolg #unemployment #ai #shrinkingmiddleclass
Since I got laid off from my Human-Centered Design job due to our government contract getting DOGE'd I've had lots of people say, "You're in tech, you should get a job in AI."
Politely nodding has turned out to be easier than getting into how "Big AI" isn't fucking hiring my skillset, IF I wanted to be associated with it (which I don't), most "AI" jobs (amid all the scam ghost jobs) are dead-end AI training bullshit, the AI certificates are scams, they're torching the middle class, etc etc etc
