Sorry, but it's not only about your industry. Looks to me everything just fucked... and as result I see depression and great war...

We are certainly looking at a recession - most likely globally - but I don't see a war starting over it... any war that starts will be for the same old 20th century reasons - clashes of ideology & access to valuable resources - the usual oil & other fossil-based fuels... nobody starts a war over solar power!!

Some kind of social/cultural revolution is far more likely. How violent it gets will depend on how fast the Right-Wing whips its under-educated & over-armed little militias into action

Computerized job alerts suck. I was a high level international patent paralegal and I kept getting alerts for car sales, marketing manager, etc. Don't let it get you down.

Moreover they now use AI and I kept alert for the same list of jobs for half-year and if I applied as result just ghosting, which bring me to conclusion something broken and could not be fixed by AI…
