I didn't find this post particularly insightful, novel, or interesting, but it's notable how many people in tech are feeling a deep malaise for various reasons. I tend to believe these kinds of feelings come in waves, and in time it will pass, but it's always hard to see "the light at the end of the tunnel" when you're deep in feelings of frustration and meaninglessness.

The unsatisfied are more vocal than the satisfied. Selection bias skews apparent sentiment far lower than actual sentiment.

I assure you, the corporate tech and AI simps are incredibly vocal here as well. And have you seen LinkedIn lately?

I also run a small side project site, and I get hundreds of thousands of bots visiting every week..

from all aspects of AI, i find this the one that is easiest to ignore. AI might poison your reading, don't let it poison your writing. Why not continue doing your thing? This feeling of estrangement is not new in a world where every usefulness has to express itself as exchange value. Just have a service provider handle the additional load and don't stop being a thinking, writing, picture taking and social human being.

Or poison your own writing for AI.
