I personally believe that your industry award and global recognition will go a long way. I had been working with AI as a founder, and I see that there is no human inside, and it just goes in so many different directions.

Your knowledge, your skills will be always valuable. Don't be afraid of the layoffs. You will always stand out.

With all due respect if you consider ideas that llm gives you back as “novel” or same/better quality than your own, then your own were not novel and not great to begin with. Therefore you didn’t really loose nor gain anything except a point of view. Which is arbitrary in this case.

I would use that anger to still work for the industry. You still can get a job. Use AI to work minimally and perhaps get another job (part time?) and take advantage of AI as well to work minimally. Earn two paychecks (not big ones, but combined, good enough) and put your passion on side projects. Fuck companies

the greater equalizer has arrived, lost passion is still up for an individual but with paying the bills i naively expect some economic breakthrough from humans+ai

i really hate ai, it has made everything so much more difficult. But whenever i think about this, i feel like i'm complaining .
