Awful. OpenAI (and other AI cos) are making a hard push for getting AI into K-12 schools, which they see as a burgeoning market. Most teachers I've spoken to, meanwhile, say AI is terrible.

The misery caused by vague position descriptions is so real. I know the job, I can do the job, but when employer expectations aren’t stated there’s the constant questioning whether enough is being done or if the correct things are being prioritised.

The other day I was told "In one conversation you can be talking about the most interesting things and then suddenly be talking about the most boring. In. The. Same. Conversation" and it made me feel like a wizard.

With every interaction I have with the library executive about the awful, shortsighted changes being made to my job, I am reminded of this quote;

I like to make stuff from wood. This was the first chair I ever made, it's a democratic side chair designed by Curtis Buchanan. The parts are green Blackwood turned on a pole lathe I constructed, the seat is kiln dried Blackwood, and it's finished with shellac.
