> Seen the news recently? People have been discovering that the LLMs are snake oil lately. Sources? That would cheer me up for sure, haha. > If you're tired of working for the kind of idiot that sees "AI will replace everyone in your company for cheap" and starts drooling I don't blame you. I'm pretty sick of the industry too. Yeah you're probably right and I suppose this is more a factor than AI itself. The company I work for has been stack ranking for about a year and a half. It's exhausting and, combined with the onslaught of AI hype, it's pretty easy to slip into a pattern of thought where I feel I contribute no value. So AI might just be the proverbial straw. It also doesn't help that the engineering landscape in Australia is a bit lacklustre when it comes to anything more complicated than web/app development. Would love to work on operating systems or crazy hardware projects like piloting software or robotics. |

https://www.wheresyoured.at/ Talks a LOT about the AI hype bubble in general.
The landscape here in the US sucks too. Layoffs and offshoring are still going strong. Everything new is some stupid AI startup. I kinda thought I was done too until I got laid off and started working on my own projects to stay sharp.
Realized I still love making stuff. Just hate the corporate games.
