it gets funnier every day that i burned out of an AI job right before the big boom last year. especially bc my reasons for burning out had nothing to do with "ethics" and everything with how mindnumbing the backend of this stuff is

#i did both backend-backend and training data and both felt like a neverending pointless task even tho it was language stuff which i love #both jobs had interesting and useful end goals (better multilingual speech synthesis! earlier detection of cognitive decline in elders!)#i burned out bc war started in my country and i couldnt bear working on something so abstract and digital anymore #and the sheer tedium of the abstract digital stuff was the cherry on top #so its funny to hear people talk about AI from the side on this website. the Takes people have. laughs like a haggled coughing miner #personal
