    It's fucking depressing and all and there are more red flags here than at the Victory Day parade in 1945, but you know what gets me the most about this kind of job ad? It's for an "AI live photo sharing app."

    We live in a world that expects people to mobilize all their energy, all the meaningful time that they could otherwise enjoy in their lives, and for what? To build a fucking AI live photo sharing app.

    Not to build infrastructure, to feed the poor, to elevate humanity and to develop a better society. You'll have to be available at any time, any day of the week, and you'll have to use your hard-earned programming skills to develop a motherfucking AI live photo sharing app.

    We are truly fucked if that's what we think would be the best way to put some of our most talented professionals to work. Just building the next money-making machine for some useless billionaire.

      If it makes you feel better, I’m 90% sure AI is being used purely as a marketing hype term here and there’s no meaningful AI aspects to the app.

      The greatest minds of my generation are spending their efforts trying to beam advertisements directly into my brain, and it makes me consider adventure-time every single day.
