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
