“The market is about to be so much more f—d for the next few waves of graduates.

I’m a lifestyle and pet writer with over a decade of experience in copywriting, covering viral animal moments, well-being topics, and lifestyle trends.

"People have been saying this since the early 2000s. While it seems reasonable, unless a major government reform forces it, I don't think it will happen at all."

"Not even automated drones — just a guy in an office building, remote piloting a jet or tank or terrifying Boston Dynamics dog with a gun.

In 10 years, the only people killed in war will be the civilians living where the battles are taking place — all the soldiers will be in air-conditioned office buildings, counting the minutes until they can go to lunch."

"So many of my most upvoted and replied comments are on threads deleted by mods.

Reddit is functionally deleting history, and I’ve started saving really important info into text documents instead of just bookmarking the URL."

"We really need to have a cultural shift around customer service. It shouldn't be seen as menial labor; it should be seen as the primary PR for the business. If your business sucks to interact with, then I will go somewhere else. Good customer service employees should be well paid and respected; they keep the business alive if it's customer-facing in any way."

"Honestly, it would be great if that happened; they would go back to having 0 sponsors, not having to do in-video adverts, and so on. Glory days were when nearly everyone on YouTube and Twitch depended fully on donations and ad revenue from views. Now, with sponsors being so massive, everyone is just a massive fucking ad."

"I feel like that will be very unlikely.

You tend to need certain officially translated documents, and I doubt that an embassy will accept a ChatGPT-translated document."

"I used to think this, but I immediately demand to talk to a real person 90% of the time. Many people are the same. If I’m calling, it’s because I’ve already exhausted public documentation or regular means of fixing something. I want to talk to a human."

"It's definitely coming for us, but the technology is still in its infancy. The stakes are way higher when it's an $80K vehicle, and some of the places where I pick up and drop off require too much critical thinking/spatial awareness/binocular vision for a robot. 

So many distribution centers aren't built out in ways automated drivers can handle, let alone local retail outlets. We're not safe by any stretch, but we'll have to rebuild much of the physical infrastructure before automation takes over.

"I think that, on the contrary, physical art will see a huge resurgence."

"Yep. My husband's marketing agency is seeing a lot less traffic. The 'good' clients are still there, but there's a lot less demand for graphic design and photography from new clients now that people are perfectly content to pay bargain prices for AI slop."

"I did medical billing data entry for a few years. It was so repetitive that I was burnt out at the end. This was a long while ago when ICD-9 codes and patient info were normally handwritten on specimen requisitions."
