▲AI Made Me Homeless (medium.com)
tacitusarc 2 hours ago [-]
Makes me think of this:

> There is a pattern I keep seeing, especially in the Bay Area. So many fabulously wealthy people where it’s never enough. Never enough money.

Somehow people make 500k a year and end up broke and I know families making 60k with 3 kids and they are still saving and getting by.

Why is he not applying for individual contributor positions? He can't find the job he wants.

As they say, the quickest way to a million dollars is to start with two million.

>How a $500k/Year AI Engineer Lost Everything

Apparently they saved no money and went homeless in a matter of months (?!).

People who work in mcdonalds putting the fries in the bag do not earn 500k/yr and somehow manage to avoid homelessness.

It is quite telling that they blame the AI rather than themselves.

They spent 2 years building savings after their business failed. Those savings seem to have lasted them around 8 months. And yes there are probably people who work at McDonald’s and can’t afford rent.
