Damn, work

A dear friend of mine is no longer working. She was laid off last May 2025 and hasn’t been able to find a new job for a year. A whole year without work. She was a copywriter. Today, her job is done by an LLM. Bad, but sufficient for the vast majority of clients of mediocre communications agencies in Italy.

The market has changed. AI will eliminate many jobs. I wasn’t entirely convinced, now I am. New ones will clearly arise, ones we can’t even imagine today. But in the meantime, damn, what a lot of suffering.
