As someone who has had four entire careers, I'm 100% on board with this.
I didn't fail at any of them. I hit glass ceilings in every single one.
Fair. I briefly worked at a turbine company and fried IGBTs, screaming brakes (the brakes on those things are something else) and the occasional self immolating generator coils were not unusual.

Building one on your own machines also goes a long way to dispelling any "woo woo" people have about this "AI" technology.
I would suggest taking a break from it for an hour or two as well - sometimes staring at something too long is anti productive.
One of the many contradictions of this technology is that it only really makes sense if you run it on your own machine, but the entire industry is behaving as though there are network-effect lock-ins akin to social media.
Wind Turbines can have pretty epic fires too IIRC. There is a lot of brake fluid, mineral oil and sometimes transformer oil inside those.
you see, wind turbines and solar panels very rarely do this
Can we just de-shame leaving any job or industry? I’m wanting to make a complete career change and there’s so much nonsense and it’s framed as failure and I don’t see it that way at all. The world changed, and my life changed, and I changed. Even if it was just a whim, I don’t see the problem???
