With the lastest news of AI layoffs, I’m struggling to understand how the idea of a career still holds. If careers themselves effectively become gambles like lottery tickets, how do we maintain drive and hopes in the longterm endgame of our struggles?
I know AI as an honest utility is itself a lie to some extent, but this only aids my argument further. People’s career struggles are panning out to be valueless because of a nothing-fad that no one could have predicted.
Never going to happen in the US or Canada. Oh sure the rest of the world will but not those two countries. The culture of construction work can’t adapt. It’s amazing to me when I see stuff go up in South East Asia vs the US/Canada.
South East Asia: standardized parts, 3 shifts, army of workers, about half of which are women, things just move.
US/Canada: custom everything nothing connects right, 1 shift, all large white males, things take forever.
