But we're both passionate about it, let me tell you.

And, you know,

I noticed because it was happening to myself, but also friends and then friends of friends culminating in really when I spoke to my therapist, she had to sort of interrupt me during the session because she was like, oh, what does your partner do again?

Yeah.

And, you know, I was like, well, you know, he's in AI.

He's building an AI tool for his company.

And she was like, oh, this is a phenomenon.

Actually, she used the word phenomenon that she's based here in the Bay Area.

So a lot of her clients, you know, she has kind of a very specific clientele where it's a postpartum therapist.

So she works with women that are pregnant or postpartum.

And of course, they're going through kind of this emotional roller coaster themselves, but the majority of them are partnered with people in tech and particularly that work in AI or adjacent to AI is how she explained it to me.

And she's just said it's causing them to be emotionally, mentally unavailable because they're totally consumed by what they're doing at work.

Right.

That's a good point.

And I think, you know, some people like I've seen some comments that this is maybe like told from a more privileged perspective.

But really, like this is actually if you're living here in the Bay Area, like I think I can see that this is affecting people across kind of the economic spectrum.

People and even like students, right, that are graduating or trying to get a job.

And it's a very terrible job market.

It's very volatile.

Right.
