Boring

Technology has become so boring. Right now, everything is only about AI. AI here, AI there. It's literally impossible to read a headline about technology without the word "AI". I can't wait until this bubble is over. However, the problem is, then the next hype cycle will follow, and it will probably be even worse.

But in the end, this is capitalism. The incentive is to make profits, and it's not about the road to get there. Capital owners do not care about art or technology. They just care about how they can exploit it to make more money. It's just about building products and services that nobody needs, and then spending billions in marketing to convince people to still buy it. Somewhere, some time long ago, humanity did really take a wrong turn. Was it when we invented agriculture? Yuval Noah Harari certainly thinks so in his book Sapiens...

Working in tech, this is extremely discouraging and depressing. There are many days where I just want to throw in the towel and do something for a living that has nothing to do with technology.
