I'm gen X working in a field and job that will absolutely be hit HARD by this. I'm fully aware I'm most likely working my last "real" job before I'll have to move on to gigs. I'll surely not be eligible for pension when this starts happening (only 41) but I fully expect my position to be taken by AI somewhere in the next 5 years.

I'm not fighting it. Something tells me the entire world will have... other attention-demanding proclivities in 5 years, and employment may not even be in the top 10 at that time.

    The dates are fuzzy, because generations are more cultural than clinical.

    If person born in 1984 grew up thinking "I could get a good job but what's the point" and worried about nuclear war constantly, they might ID as genX.

    Millennials: “I could work forever and die with nothing, the environments going to kill us all painfully, but fuck it memes”

    Yupper. Wish you and yours the best.

    everyone knows that impending crisis is looming, subconsciously or otherwise. Don't look up.

    Latch onto things in the meantime while you distance yourself from the amalgam of disasters you can't do shit to prevent.

    Ai is the indicator we're finished creating anything new or meaningful as a society. We don't want to put in the effort. Easy only. Cash in.
