On: Ask HN: How can we solve the loneliness epidemic?

[patterner]

my problem is Credits/€/$ (or lack of) and the loss of trust in humans. currently without job and it looks grim. without money you're cut off of life. also learned that people will exploit you if you let them. i have no family & no friends. and hate being alone. can't do anything about money, but being alone is better than the opposite.

no idea what to do about others, can't even help myself.

[patterner]

for months i've been trying to find a job. just keep applying and doing software things. learning new, refreshing old. i don't expect to ever work again. i don't have any other skills.

There is a "traffic jam" in hiring caused by underqualified, desperate people who blindly apply to thousands of jobs. The deluge of applications is being pared down by AI.

In a traffic jam, you're not going anywhere fast, even if you're in a Lamborghini.

[patterner]
