    I think the floor isn’t “intern”. I think the floor is “middle schooler”.

    Meanwhile, every job I’m looking at is saying “must be enthusiastic about AI” 😭

      must be enthusiastic about AI

      Right now, in every C-suite in the industry, is a single thought: someone is going to get a competitive advantage from using this tech. As a result, we’re all being asked - and will eventually be told - to use this stuff lest we “fall behind.” Sadly, it doesn’t matter if that’s true or not; perception is reality in situations like this. Meanwhile, it’s up to the little guy to figure out how to pull that off without sinking the ship in the process.

      That’s honestly what this lemming is seeing out there right now. It sucks, but I really think that’s the status quo.
