While I see where you are coming from but I think what has really gone for a toss is the utility of thinking hard.

Thinking hard has never been easier.

I think AI for an autodidact is a boon. Now I suddenly have a teacher who is always accessible and will teach me whatever I want for as long as I want exactly the way I want and I don;t have to worry about my social anxiety kicking in.

Learn advanced cryptography? AI, figure out formal verification - AI etc.

I really think this is Open AIs opening the eco system moment which is equivalent to google opening up Android or facebook allowing gaming platforms like zynga to grow on their platform.

To me it seems like a strategic shift from pure AI research and the AGI snake oil to other supposed tangible stuff.

In short, the AI revolution is mostly over, and we seem to be back in the realm of software.

Thank you! I am better now!

I do have quite a big network, but haven't really tapped into that at the moment!

Do you mind sharing whats your profile like(FAANG/Start-ups, Frontend/Backend etc) and the kind of inbounds you've been getting on linked-in. I just get recruiter spam that they almost never reply to!

>> Your career isn't over you just need to find the right company

This is so spot on!!

I can basically do Python, Java and Golang(and Haskell as well but no ones hiring for it)pretty well!!
