I feel exactly like that. I started in tech some 10+ years ago simply because I liked computers and what you could do with them and since then I changed jobs, got promoted several times but i never truly lost the passion. That is, until a couple of years ago, after I was once again promoted in a very senior technical position. Something happened after that, the amount of bullshit I had to endure was just immense. Day in and day out, it was more and more about the perception of doing work, the politics, the positioning against strategic direction, the revenue. BUT, I was still happy every now and then when I managed to do what I loved and what I was good at. And then LLMs happened and it's been downhill ever since. No joy, no purpose, nothing that I can cling to for my own sanity. Almost every day I dream about being a bartender or a mailman or simply not doing anything. Of course, I probably will never actually do it, the amount of money I earn now simply doesn't exist in other jobs and I'm not sure one can live off of "gratitude of a job that's actually useful" and I'm getting older and that's that. No happy ending here.

The specs are very similar to what the Pixel 10 series offered, while the prices start at $899/€999 for the Pixel 11 and reach $1,899/€1,999 for the Pixel 11 Pro Fold.
Absurd pricing for phones these days (years?). I remember when a couple hundred euros was the upper limit for the very best phones available.
That would then be 'generative'. It's important to note the concept of "general AI" exists and it means a machine that can actually think and reason (for example, humans have "general intelligence"). The "AI" that exists today is called "generative" because it doesn't actually think, it just generates information based off of extremely large quantities of data and gives the impression of thinking/understanding what it outputs, but it does not.
I think you mean "generative". If so, you are entirely accurate in your description.
Apple laptop, really?
Makes for a more believable lie and muddies the waters. Or, again, they might simply be completely insane.
One theory is that he is seeking escalation with a NATO country. Reasoning being that some small scale clash with NATO would feed into the narrative at home that Russia has been fighting against NATO all this time and, counterintuitively this would be a convenient off ramp. He didn't lose against Ukraine, he stalemated against the whole NATO. Or he is simply insane.

Putin needs a defeat from NATO, not from Ukraine alone. If he loses to the biggest military alliance of the world, he might be able to somewhat sell it to the public on the home front. It would also play right into the propaganda they've been spewing that Russia is fighting the collective West.
