I am sorry, I hope you find an occupation that is to your liking and holds up to your standards. Give everyone who chooses to step away from aggressive capitalism the chance to contribute in their own way and do not try push the “I did it like this so should you”. Someone else will always come and find things they do better than you which you won’t be able to really fix in your context and getting shat on for that doesn’t help anyone but provide temporary relief on the side of the shitter. For people who are brave enough to give up a majority of their life and go through major difficulties to distance themselves from all this, I feel respect. But that won’t work wonders on everyone. So better they stay sane and contribute less but in their own way.

If a person says they have been having a very hard time for almost a decade because of job difficulties, you should perhaps consider the situation in that context and point of view rather than the black and white holier than thou approaches. I agree that the ideal point to go to is to isolate your-self from aggressive capitalism as much as possible but for each person the sensible steps to get closer to this is different.
People will tell you don’t do it but you can’t completely isolate yourself from contributing to damages of aggressive capitalism unless you live in a cave. You buy detergent? Some of that money likely goes to a shareholder who also has AI stocks or invests money in military technologies that are sold to Israel for genocide. Anyone who says don’t do it haven’t really thought this through. Many people here likely curse Jeff Bezos but use amazon for the convenience of it or curse google and use google maps etc. Yours is atleast a genuine survival issue. If you can keep doing this for a year with some subtle level of malicious compliance you might feel better about it. Just make sure they will hold their end of the bargain.

7·9 days agoUnfortunately that is just pocket money for him. Somewhere in the ball park of 100 quid for an average joe doing ok in life (i.e most of us). On the otherhand if I put down 100 quid on lottery and got nothing in return I would be really bummed. So I hope he is writhing in stomach aches because of this.

12·10 days ago“AI needs to be able to work autonomously and continuously with less and less human babysitting. Your job is to identify problems that the LLM cannot solve on its own and help them not only solve them this time but be able to better solve them next time, not just for you but for everyone: repository-level context files, shared skills and prompts, and habit of ensuring that repeated failures trigger an investigation and a fix. Your job is to push the limits of what the LLM can do autonomously, step in for the things that it cannot, and always think of how you can improve the status quo.”
Forgot to add “so that we can fire you in a couple of years.” to the end.
