    My friend absolutely HATED my 20s. Such a horrific time…not knowing how to make money, having no direction. Absolute nightmare and he crawled his way to a decent job with an average median income salary 🫠

    Economists and industry executives say the hiring slowdown is also tied to post-pandemic overstaffing, aggressive cost-cutting, high interest rates and widespread hiring freezes.

      Almost all companies deploying generative AI don’t see their revenue change significantly. AI is not the money maker people claimed it was going to be.

        AI is not the money maker people claimed it was going to be.

        When people make claims about what “AI” is going to do in the future they’re talking about Artificial General Intelligence - not Large Language Models.

          While I agree with you, its that very misunderstanding that bosses and owners have, and they’ll fire regular folks and replace with ai. They may suffer lower quality and even catastrophic failures but it will take time for them to realise and rehire people. All those regular folks will be out of work during that time.

      They’re just trying to make AI sound successful, just like the overlords want them to.

        I am more inclined to think they just want ragebait articles and AI is a current easy target

        Yeah, these types of stories are advertisements directed at the landlord class. “Look, AI means fewer icky employees to have to put up with! At last, business without labor!”

          The one where every LLM-generated shell script I read is another deep splinter in my fingernail quick that I have to rip out and destroy because it’s a godfucked mess of bad practices that we can never ever ever ever EVER train out of an LLM at this point.

            I honestly do not understand the absolute blatant ignorance of this seeming dichotomy of nobody wants AI or LLMs and AI is replacing our jobs and LLMs are making everyone stupid.

              The solution is that you are in a bubble. A lot of people like it :)

    I’m sorry but if AI coding platforms have replaced you as a programmer then you were a bad programmer or were poorly educated and should just work at Chipotle.

      Pay no attention to the massive layoffs across the tech sector the last 2 years. Definitely the workers’ faults

      I am software engineer, and the coding LLM we have is absolutely capable of doing a bunch of tasks you’d give to a new grad.

        Exactly.

        Even college graduates need time to learn and build experience as they work up the ladder. A lot of theory and stuff someone might learn in college won’t necessarily be what they’ll find in the job world.
