Conveniently, this could be a path to competence for those juniors in the long term.

Yeah just start your own instance on a different planet with situations that only provoke your preferred amount of existential dread!

Barring that you’re going to be stuck identifying the sources of this widespread misery and trying to help people overcome it. For most people that might be difficult but I don’t know your budget so I won’t assume. There’s also the option of interacting with machines that pose as happier humans but your goal overall seems contrary to growing that 80% by adding yourself unless I misread your intent.

Hmm, I’m beginning to think this internet bullshit might not be the best way to get a crab.

What about it specifically do you dislike? This type of setting definitely invites questioning by the audience and can break immersion, but I’m curious about your take on it.

In dungeons and dragons there is a type of hybrid character you can play called an Artificer who treats magic more like technology, and there are a ton of examples in popular media that others have mentioned. I do think you have to determine how and if you’ll keep them distinct if that’s important to your plot, but if they developed alongside eachother maybe the technology of that world relies on magic to work.

Or maybe your magic relies on elder gods that don’t like the mortal hubris of critiquing the gods works so attempts to unravel magic gets you cursed or worse.

I think they can go together and the way you fit them can even become a plot point!

“New York Life all said they’ve never hired prompt engineers, but instead found that—to the extent better prompting skills are needed—it was an expertise that all existing employees could be trained on.”

Are you telling me that the jobs invented to support a bullshit technology that lies are themselves ALSO bullshit lies?

How could this happen??
