Two years ago I gave myself five years to get the fuck out of tech and boy am I happy I took this decision. It was slowly starting to look bleak before AI entered the hype cycle but now it's a full blown circus

		Country side house with a huge land. Not exactly sure what I'll do yet, probably homestead and seasonal jobs here and there. I'll probably work as much and earn 30% of what I earn right now but I'm so done sitting 8 hours a day in front of a screen in a small flat, big polluted city with absolutely no way of getting out of the rat race before retirement despite me and my wife both being in the top 10% local earners. The choice between "a 40sqm flat" or "two acres + a custom house + enough savings for a couple of years of vacation" was really easy to make. We've been talking about having kids too and there is absolutely no way I'll raise them in the hellscape

My fear that AI will accidentally run amok and kill everyone has been supplanted by the fear that somebody who is absolutely fucking sick of this shit will prompt AI to do so instead.
