There is no in between.

For context I am a senior computer engineering student. I did some internships and talked with many people from big companies. And the thing I realized is I can't avoid AI anymore.

It's physically impossible. I resisted for years but every single fucking place is forcing it nowadays. Internships, jobs, any competitions and even my damn professors at uni.

I have yet to meet a single person in real life that does not use AI extensively. No one cares. No one thinks it might be wrong to fuck up so many things for so little (sometimes none) gain.

So I'm at a loss nowadays. I have zero motivation to do anything. I applied for masters but who can guarantee it will be any different? I will either have to use AI like any slop-coder out there or just starve. Even though I'm a hardware guy. I dont even want to think about software devs.

Fuck every single tech CEO. Fuck every single capitalist. So many people complained about the previous generation because of what they left us. But what are we doing now? Are we any better?

Sorry for unorganized and sloppy writing. Just had to dump this somewhere. Have a nice day everyone.

I feel ya. I'm a security tester so I get to face AI daily as well at my work.

Something depressing I've noted as well since the AI age is the (seemingly) complete death of curiosity. Some of the smartest people I know, now completely relegate themselves to become a manager to AI without even touching testing targets anymore.

There used to be a ravenous hunger for new, weird vulnerabilities and quirks in software that could be leveraged. Now they're all just gloating about how they're doing everything talking to a machine over discord.

I feel like the only weirdo that apparently actually liked doing the work. It's sad.
