I think it's simply the fact that there hasn't even been an opportunity for the youth to start, it's just misery right from the start. there's no "it'll get better" in that frame of mind

and I'm in a similar situation, although I'm younger

and I do think in a way this time is different, because AI by nature is very "generic", its not just one domain, rather everything is affected

plus there is a kind of mindset that the youth is entitled and that thank God we don't have to hire them anymore etc etc. it doesn't help.

and even though I believe things will get better, the question is "when" and if there will be a new "lost generation" or whatever.

maybe that makes sense? on one hand I'm able to do way more, but I also know what that means at least in the short term. I don't know where the demand will be to meet this new exponential supply.
