I’m thinking about quitting. I mean, what’s the point? AI is doing everything now. My ‘job’ is so easy to outsource to a algorithm, I’m basically a ghost. If I quit, what do I do? I don’t have any other skills. I’m just a guy who knows how to format a spreadsheet and likes 50s fashion. I’m becoming obsolete. What a terrifying thought.
I was walking in the city today, near the station. A girl passed by—really pretty, kind-faced—and she just *smiled* at me. A real, genuine smile. I almost tripped over my own feet! Who smiles at a guy like me? I don’t know who she was, I’ve never seen her before, but it weirdly made my whole week. I’m an idiot for being this happy about a smile. I know, I know.
