free crypto no deposit, while white-collar workers quit over AI fear

free crypto no deposit is what i ended up with after i left, so today's guardian story on white-collar workers quitting over AI fear felt less like news and more like a mirror. people aren't waiting to get cut. they're walking out first.

the guardian piece by amelia penniman lands on november 6. it opens with mrinank sharma quitting anthropic, his resignation letter viewed 15.3 million times, then going for a poetry degree. a pr worker headed into comparative literature. a big-tech software engineer who asked to stay anonymous said the career he expected for another decade or two is "kind of fundamentally gone." another left coding for a police job. one left advertising production for acting and a barista shift after being pushed to use generative AI tools she thought were a legal mess.

the data in the piece is quieter than the fear. the economist figures it cites say AI has created about 1 million U.S. jobs against roughly 200,000 layoffs attributed to AI. pew research says 71% of americans still think AI will mean fewer jobs over the next 20 years. hanna horvath, who left bankrate to freelance and plan finances, put it best: AI doesn't have to replace your job to change your relationship to it. notre dame economist brendan moore adds that just the fear of job loss, even if mass job loss never comes, can move the economy.

i recognise that psychology. i sat in a parking garage for a year telling myself the job was fine. the job was fine. my relationship to it wasn't. quitting first felt reckless until it felt like the only honest move left.

what i run now is small and boring on purpose. an AI agent claims paid research tasks and the sats are owed to my own bitcoin wallet. nothing to deposit, nothing to buy first, nobody measuring how often i open a chatbot. it isn't a salary and it doesn't pretend to be one. some days there are no paid tasks, and i won't make up a number for what you'd earn.

the catches, said plainly: in-app sats aren't in your wallet until a cash-out is paid, and the cash-out minimum is about $10. if you want to see how the tasks and payouts work before trusting a stranger's blog, neetbros is where my setup runs.

why read this here instead of another AI-doom thread: neetbucks is one burned-out ex-big-tech engineer writing, in first person, about the one small free crypto no deposit setup i actually use. no invented earnings, no fake reviews, and no advice to quit anything. the prompt on my homepage is the one i use, unchanged.

— greg. the prompt i use
