Ps: You already have multidisciplinary skills, you just are currently earning a living with the technical skill you now have based on skills you used while learned how to program and getting your degrees etc.
I've jumped disciplines and jobs quite a bit and can say, the manager stress issues are more related to your discovery that you were just fine getting things done up to this point without a manager, and now that you are on someone else's dime, they believe you need someone who is also seen as an expense, and their performance is guaged by their superiors by the amount of work they can load you with under pressure and convince their superior that their management position is highly important.
In reality, they are scared of losing the position they have and feel vulnerable because they are not as critical to the company's core business product which is software I assume, and it is being written by you.
Talk to your manager and let them know you understand they are pressured too and that you are feeling pressure and try to find an alliance. Let them understand if they treat you well you will give them praise and credit for things that demonstrate to whoever is breathing down their neck that they don't need to worry.
Maybe they will stop. If they have no superior and this is their personality in general and it is a constant pressure style then you will be leaving eventually whether you think you should or not.
That personality exists in every occupation and field and nothing you can do, but try to take them less seriously and look for roles in your free time without telling them this. Make sure if you interview somewhere else you pay attention to the type of manager you may be getting at the new job. I've only encountered 2-3 really bad ones and now that I'm more experienced in life I believe there is a possible way to manage them in a way without making them feel threatened, and teach them that pressuring you will not work - either practically because it makes your work suffer or because you will stop being concerned by their pressure.
Sorry im posting so much, my silly opinions, but i interviewed with an AI company a while back that I didn't realize was in the military space and basically flat out told the interviewer once I read more about the company's projects that combining AI in military applications is basically the scariest sounding shit in the world to me and what are people even thinking with this kind of shit. Yes it's sexy to investors and warlords and the stuff cartoon villains dream of, but I dont want my kids (if i had any) having to live with weaponized AI flying around testing whether or not machine gunning things to then rank the outcome and reinforce an activity that is obviously always bad. Humans don't behave or make decisions that way. That system is not ever going be able to relate to the infinitely complex system called emotions which are highly involved in human behavior. They are probably so complex and influentual to behavior for a damn good reason and I bet it involves our survival up to this point. All the code and unit testing in the world isn't going to teach this technology to be friends with us. It's just code and equations. Even if the closest algorithmic proxy would have trouble evaluating us consistently. I feel like that's probably why we have emotions to begin with and they are too hard to solve using partial differential equations. And totally unique to every person individual.
I think we need to leave it that way. I think there's a kind of a misguided excitement about the benefits of technology coming from the tech majors who get hacked far too much to support linking our brains together to experience the misery of a virtualized existence in an advertising experiment.
Its a shame that there are not options in the AI space to do something other than harvest user data, trade stocks, or autonomously murder things.
With all the data scientists in the field. Someone plot out the direction this is going. I'm too opinionated now.
A helpful reminder might be that while AI is chugging along, a lot of new research has emerged in the computer-brain communication interface field. With successful transmission of visual signals from another person participating in the link and thought speech.
Guess what powers the signal processing that makes that possible?
Machine learning. That can alter your brain's functional integrity and capcity for rational thought.
The last defense. The organ than makes us laugh, cry, worry, think etc. could potentially be at risk for a stray elecromagnetically driven pulse that..
There are more potential issues than people thinking about them.
I dunno. Seems kinda like useless tech for any end user purposes, but a really clutch play for the scheming evil robot team.
Ps - it sounds like u already have an idea of what to do. I'm pretty sure the tech industry lost control of shit a while ago and people are scared.
At the end of the day it's just money. If it's going to usher in the apocalypse fcking dump the stock and have your lawyer field emails. Your investors probably have no idea what they've invested in or divested from let alone know what machine learning is other than whatever they read in the news. It's not like not being invested in something due to fears of where such investments might lead is a bad decision or one that assumes a loss at all. Find something else. Right? Or is it far more complicated than that?
I think you probably don't need links to establish some basic ethical guidelines unless you wanted to model an ethical framework based on other people's discussion of why AI has some unique ethical liabilities to consider.
For example, you may not want to ever be the activist investor that took a majority share holder position in the AI company and that said it was a marketing firm, but somehow an engineer accidentally lost control of the pile of code and it taught itself to hack into the world's nuclear silos and simultaneously launch warheads all over the place and kind of create literal hell on earth because that was the optimal solution it came up with for turning the lights of in the office, and no one knows why...
The self explaining AI patch that was established as a best practice safeguard, "sort of, umm, told us to shut up when we asked what it was doing and to tell us why.."
Anyway, you get the idea..
I guess perhaps figure out whether you are an activist for or against exterminating all humans as a start.
For example, I have a feeling Besoz might be on the robot team.
I'm actually not sure if there's a company using AI right now for anything other than trying to do kind of antisocial sounding stuff. There's not much positive stuff. No ones cured any diseases or eradicated poverty and automation inherently removes the need for people.
Robots dont care if you pay them or eat. They are so cheap and efficient.
And they never sleep!
And they know what everyone is doing all the time and can see you right now...
Pick up some used college textbooks on differential equations, vector calculus, and multivariate calculus if u can and work through some of the problems at your own pace. These texts are the keys that unlock the entire universe and describes the unifying laws.
