Leaving them behind
This is the first of two posts published today. The author invites readers to skip ahead to "Shin honkaku," which they find more enjoyable. After waiting long enough, the author announces that their updated AI policy has changed significantly. They assert that there is no worthwhile career in AI-related fields, emphasizing that the AI industry is designed to dehumanize and commoditize labor.
Developers have become "dull fungible meat proxies" after being fooled by a few grifters and influencers. Many have left the industry, unable to find meaningful employment. The author has decided to move on to more interesting pursuits, such as building websites for real people and distanced from peers lost to chatbot psychosis.
They will continue to observe the AI industry from afar but won't allow it to affect their mental health or career. The author is excited about their future and recommends reading two detective fiction books: "The Tokyo Zodiac Murders" by Sōji Shimada and "The Moai Island Puzzle" by Alice Arisugawa.
