You ever play a video game with god mode cheats enabled, so you can unlock all the unlocks, get all the best gear, and be an unstoppable force with unlimited money?

Yeah, it's fun for 30 minutes.

Exactly, a lot of people keep attacking me as anxiety for losing my livelihood. It’s not that.

It’s just depression that another avenue for human craftsmanship has been taken over by the machines. Humans are not just infinite consumers. If AI solves all of humanity problems, it’s like living in a zoo, not a life worth living imo.

On the other hand, exploring any of your interests without needing to calculate how it can cover rent means you have more time and opportunities to actually do things you're interested in.

Working all day, then not wanting to do much else after because you're tired, is also fun for all of 30 minutes.
