Exploiting a Meaningless System

We are in a time where everyone pretends to resist artificial intelligence while secretly embracing it. But the most advantageous position isn't to debate the eith of AI itself, but rather to understand how you should exploit it to escape the prison of modern work. I’ve seen countless videos of people arguing about AI's impact on society, its ethics, its dangers, all while using it in secret. Their hypocrisy is transparent as their desperate attempts to remain relevant in an increasingly automated world.

All of them use it. The business suits, the academics, the wide-eyed students, each playing their part in this charade. They like to posture and craft carefully worded statements about the importance of human creativity while letting algorithms write their cover letters, their reports, their analyses. Just lying through their teeth.

The system itself is meaningless. It’s just a playground of fake rules designed to keep people trapped in the middle, that purgatory of mediocrity where dreams go to die. But none of it matters. Not the HR software scanning resumes, not the AI detecting AI-written papers, not the endless meetings about "authenticity" in the workplace. It's all a game, and the only real choice is whether to be the player or the played.

You need to milk this system for all it's worth. Hold multiple remote jobs, let AI handle the fake work while you focus on what truly matters to you. Understand that if an algorithm can write your quarterly reports while you paint, compose music, or write poetry, you’ve won. Do whatever you can to break free from the meaningless labor that erodes the spirit of so many others.

Consider Clifford Stoll, the “academic” from the 1990s who said the internet a passing fad. History remembers him now as a cautionary tale, a reminder of how spectacularly wrong one can be when failing to grasp the march of progress. Today's AI skeptics are tomorrow's Clifford Stolls, clinging to outdated notions of work and meaning while the world transforms around them.

I’m not telling you this to scare you. There’s no “end of the world” here, no apocalypse waiting in the wings, no AI uprising. I’m saying it so you see the world as it is. A world in which creativity, genuine human impulse, still matter more than ever, if we’re brave enough to pursue them. There’s no rule that says you have to become part of this robot march.

Do something that truly resonates, whether it’s music, art, writing, ideas that make people feel alive. The kind of things you used to dream about as a kid, before the world tried to mold you into something predictable.

One of the immutable laws of existence is this: the middle always gets fucked.

The middle class, the middle management, the middle ground are all slowly crushed between the gears of progress. And if the middle always gets squeezed, then why waste your time trying to survive in it? This society will milk you dry if you let it, taking your time and energy while giving little back in terms of meaning. So let them play their game. You don't have to.

In a world where everything is increasingly artificial, the only meaningful act is to pursue what makes one feel genuinely alive.

So as AI is taking over the grunt work, what excuse do you have left not to explore your curiosity? This is the moment to act on those ideas you've shelved, those passions you’ve labeled as impractical. The risk has never been lower because the stakes were never real to begin with.

Curiosity always wins. It’s what drives progress, what breathes life into existence, and what separates the dreamers from the drones. So take the leap. Experiment, create, and pursue the things that set your mind on fire. If you fail, so what? The system is already rigged against you. But if you succeed, you’ll have something AI can never replicate: the thrill of truly living.
