This is a short excerpt of a spoken monologue about older tech workers feeling intimidated by much younger entrants—especially those learning AI—and experiencing age-related insecurity and competition. The speaker argues this dynamic makes financial security important as one gets older.
But I just think about, like, there's people in positions too, where they got young people coming in, and they might be feeling older inherently. Like, you work in tech right now, and you might be 35, 36, and there's somebody learning about AI that's 18. You know what I'm saying? You might look at them not just as a competitor, but you might feel like I'm a dinosaur compared to who's coming in behind you. So I think that's even more reasons why the older you get, you got to have some fucking money. Because the spaces you work in, like, there's people that's young and hungry that they just got to fuck you energy. Like, they coming in.
