I am tired, even if I don't use AI too much for my day job designing HW, mostly for disposable scripts if at all. The utter lack of stability in the market, not even 5 years out, is sad. That is even though I have savings to weather the storm and no major liabilities.

AI is a boon for learning, but the result will heavily depend on mental capability of the user; having a depression-induced brainrot doesn't help though.

And, in the last year clankers have started coming for us EEs.

The reality is that many people are more fucked than I am, but I can't stop the bad thoughts.

Get your practical skills in residential and commercial electricity up to speed and join the trades. The world is going for solar, heat pumps and electric vehicles no matter what corrupt politicians want (yay free market for once, lol), and that means there will be demand for people actually pulling wires and installing cabinets for decades to come. Start out as a side gig and when you find the clankers get too close to home turf, expand.
