AI is taking your job and a lot of you are still advocating for its usefulness.

In a just, reasonable world it wouldn't matter because the governments would be doing logical things like rolling out some sort of UBI program to catch people or ensuring basic needs are met job or no job, setting up retraining programs for people to easily pivot etc.
It is useful, it's the governments of the world response to its job elimination that's the problem

How can you not love fully automated space communism

How are these at odds? Doing a job is useful. The problem is clearly our economic system.

Shit is bleak. I work in the government and have started casually applying to jobs in the private sector (missing 3 checks is really shitty). Luckily, I have a savings buffer and my wife works, but that's not going to last forever and her income isn't enough to support us indefinitely. But there's barely anything that offers comparable salary/benefits and/or is either near me or allows remote work. My niece graduated from university with a degree in comp sci and has been looking for a junior developer job since February of this year.
Hell, you go on the DevOps subreddit and there's countless posts of people witnessing the same terrible tech job market. It's really depressing.
I feel for you, and I hope this works out for you in the end. I'm in the private sector, and have been actively searching and applying for a year, and I've spoken to two recruiters. I'm pretty well qualified for the roles I've been applying to, but it's a fairly niche skill set so it's been maybe 70-80 applications over the course of the past year.
I've never been happier to have been out of the government; I left a few years ago.
So are you presently employed but just applying for a better job? Sorry if I'm misreading, pretty hungover and exhausted.
