Autisms Georg - He/Him

The last month or so there has been an insistent pressure on my project to 'start implementing AI' on the job. From questionnaires like 'How do you use LLMs and why' to my direct superior now saying that everyone who doesn't do it will get laid off in a few months.

I enjoy my work and asking me to replace it with talking to a chat bot is one of the most humiliating things I've ever thought about. It goes heavy against my principles: it's detrimental to the environment, workers' rights, and culture. How can I pay Sam Altman 20$/month when I'd rather shove a stick of dynamite up his ass etc. So I don't think I'll resist being fired very much. But I do wonder if there is a chance anymore of finding a company that wont, now or eventually, require the same thing?

"I don't dream of labor", "not to sound like a protestant" and so on, of course, but. This was the first time in my life where I was proud of what I did and now it seems I have to find something else. Again.

You have quite a few year of experience ahead of me (I'm turning 26 soon), so I was wondering if anything has felt so gloomy before? Not necessarily tech things, just anything being employed :/ Your posts always come up in the most coincidental times haha

It's grim, but as loopholes in the pricing model get tightened, I think we're going to see a lot of companies rethink how much they outsource to AI. Money is going to be what talks here, and it will likely be cheaper to exploit actual human beings than fire them for AI.

The important thing about wool is that it continues to keep you warm even when it’s soaking wet.

Other natural fibers don’t do this. In fact, quite the opposite. Campers and boaters are usually familiar with the phrase, “cotton kills.” If you’re wet in cotton or linen, your clothes actually sap heat from your body.

If you sink in a lake in late October like I did today, staying warm is important. I was rescued long before I would’ve actually died, but cold makes your muscles seize up, which isn’t good if you have to swim to land.

Which brings me around to life jackets. If the water’s cold enough, you may only have five-ten minutes until your muscles seize (today I probably had 40-60, more than enough time to get to land if I hadn’t been picked up), and you’ll drown.

In a life jacket, even in extremely cold water, you can float semi-conscious for perhaps another 30 minutes or so before you actually freeze to death, which is usually when someone rescues you.

What’s more, you probably know that moving around on land warms you up. Jumping jacks, jogging in place, etc.

In water, moving actually makes you colder. You need to stay still curled up in a ball, which you can only do in a life jacket.

In wool AND life jacket, you’re warm, and your head’s above water, which is pretty much your only and entire goal.

Yep! A really simple “experiment” I learned as a kid and now use in my own courses is sticking your hand in ice water. Compare moving it around in the water to curling it up in a fist. The contrast is stark!

To increase your survival time in on cold water, you want to curl up! If you’re with others, you want to huddle!
