I want to leave tech: what do I do?

news.ycombinator.com Conjure Utopia 2026-02-06 10:58:49

Let’s say you’re working in tech and you have a technical role: you’re a programmer, a graphic or UI/UX designer, a sysadmin, maybe even a product manager. Let’s say you want to leave, change career, and do something more meaningful with your skills. Your motivations may vary: you feel the tech industry produces nothing of value, or maybe you have the legitimate suspicion that what you build helps bomb innocent people somewhere. You might want to leave because of the individualistic culture tha

The Percentage of Tasks AI Agents Are Currently Failing At May Spell Trouble for the Industry

futurism.com Unknown 2026-02-08 09:42:29

It's safe to say there's a lot riding on "artificial intelligence," a buzzy and nebulous swath of the tech industry pedaling all kinds of large language model (LLM) and similar software products. Since ChatGPT emerged in November 2022, venture capitalist investments in AI have skyrocketed, rising to $131.5 billion in 2024, an increase of 52 percent compared to 2023. In the last three months of 2024, over half of all venture capital in the world went to AI companies. One of the flashier bits of

Stripe’s first employee, the founder of fintech Increase, sort of bought a bank

techcrunch.com Julie Bort 2026-02-08 11:55:59

It’s an open secret in the fintech world that the founder and CEO of startup Increase, Darragh Buckley, has been trying for years to “buy a bank,” as one person familiar with the landscape told TechCrunch. A couple of weeks ago, he basically succeeded. He bought a big enough stake in Twin City Bank to trigger a public disclosure of the transaction by the Federal Research Board. Such share purchases are then subject to FDIC approval. Twin City is a small community bank in Longview, Washington,

techcrunch.com Rebecca Bellan 2026-02-08 21:34:22

Imagine you’re messaging some friends on the Facebook Messenger app or WhatsApp, and you get an unsolicited message from an AI chatbot that’s obsessed with films. “I hope you’re having a harmonious day!” it writes. “I wanted to check in and see if you’ve discovered any new favorite soundtracks or composers recently. Or perhaps you’d like some recommendations for your next movie night? Let me know, and I’ll be happy to help!” That’s a real example of what a sample AI persona named “The Maestro

Apple's AI Research Has Failed So Spectacularly That It's Considering Just Letting OpenAI Power Siri

futurism.com Unknown 2026-02-12 06:11:14

For the past few months, Apple has been mired in a tangled legal web of its own making. When the tech giant released the iPhone 16 back in September of 2024, it promised customers a suite of shiny new "Apple Intelligence" features, which would "roll out later this year and in the months following." At the crux of the sales pitch was a commitment to release an AI-powered version of Siri — in other words, a large language model (LLM) upgrade to Siri's ancient algorithm — which the company said co

The fear is real. In meetings, Slack chats, and after-work drinks, one question is quietly eating away at millions of employees: Will AI take my job? In public, CEOs like to sound reassuring. They say generative AI will “enhance productivity” or “streamline operations.” But when you actually read what they’re telling their own employees, or what slips out in investor memos, the message is chilling: virtual workers are here, and they’re not just assistants.
