lol you must not be looking for a white collar job right now then outside of IT.

The only thing that is over hyped is there is no white collar bloodbath but a white collar slow bleed out.

Not mass firing events but transition by attrition over time. A bleed out in jobs that don't get back filled and absolutely nothing in terms of hiring reserve capacity for the future.

My current company is a sinking ship, I suspect it will go under in the next two years so I have been trying to get off but there is absolutely no place to go.

In 2-3 years I expect to be unemployed and unemployable, needing to retrain to do something I have never done before.

What is on display in this thread is that human's are largely denial machines. We have to be otherwise we would be paralyzed by our own inevitable demise.

It is more comforting to believe everything is fine and the language models are just some kind of doge coin tech hype bullshit.
