Manual Labor in AI and the CoreWeave Crash

Now, I should really keep my mouth shut, since I lost my job because of artificial intelligence. These days I’m a manual laborer and everything’s fine, but there are some things I just can’t keep in.

What a crash like this means

When a company like CoreWeave crashes on the stock market and Nvidia loses a lot of points, what’s going on?

What’s going on is that they spent too much, too fast. Investors start getting scared, they want more and more money, they start buying insurance on the money they invested. Then the banks get involved, and when the banks get involved, pensions are on the line. And this is the result.

Life as a manual laborer

So I want to say this. I’m fine with no longer programming - like everyone will, since soon all office workers will be out of a job like I am. I’m fine doing manual work, because at least you touch things and you’re nice and relaxed. But the money is less. Now it takes me a month to make what I used to make in three or four days.

I’m desperate. I don’t know, I’m trying Tinder to pick up girls. Before I used to tell them “look, I’m bald, but I make money”. Now not even that. That’s how it went.

A few cartridges left

Anyway, I still have a few cartridges left. I have 20 years of experience in artificial intelligence, from research to business, consulting for public administration and multinationals.

So if you’re a company and you want a technical artificial intelligence course to really understand what’s going on, my course is called Reskill. It covers agents in detail, with tools and all the rest, protocols - in particular MCP - and a section on agentic development, Spec Driven Development and business strategy.

Later.
