Not into hiring. And AI may eliminate all the entry level jobs anyway.

It's been said a lot that AI is anticipated to eliminate entry level tech/programming jobs. All appearances are that this is now in progress.

But if you think it through, it's apparent that tech management is betting on AI to eliminate ALL levels of those jobs.

Where do mid and upper level tech employees come from? They come from entry level employees who advance through experience. If there are no entry level jobs, no entry level employees, there will soon be no mid/upper level employees.

They're shutting down the employee development pipeline. This is either due to an incredible level of short-sightedness, or it's due to a high level of confidence that development of mid/high level tech employees is no longer necessary.

The only reason it's said that AI will put "entry level" tech jobs at risk is to minimize public reaction to the reality of what AI will actually do.

contracts so they are ramming it down our throats.

Problem is, AI isn't that smart yet. We should be using it as a 'partner?' Well, it can come in handy sometimes, but I prefer to do my own writing and so on.

I think AI will end up dumbing down a whole generation of kids.

But then, I'm an old guy. I remember in the way-back-when when ATMs came out and tellers were panicking about the prospect of losing their jobs, but no...the ATM did not replace the need for tellers.

There are lots of jobs that require years of on-the-job experience. You don't just walk into being a good supervisor or director of anything, coming out of college. Everything you learn in school, engineering, finance, marketing, it's all textbook, not real life. The real world variables you'll encounter are rarely covered in class, partly cuz there's no way to predict all of them.

I read an article that concluded that AI makes us more average & I agree.

I hope the neighborhoods enjoy the environmental impacts and the noise.

Anything that's logical can be programmed to be done by AI. Algos have been running some investment funds for years.

I work in tech, we need systems engineers more than software engineers. And software engineers better know several languages and understand a lot more than just coding.

And AI is writing code now that is useable.

But things are changing so quickly, I fear 10 years from now will bring devastation to tech. I am retiring in 10 years and am in a highly regulated industry that has many years before they begin letting AI do much for us.

The "Learn to code" meme has been bunk for a while now. That's simply not enough.

I don't know where we go, but I do think Ai will be taking over highly skilled tasks as soon as this year.

Beyond the environmental concerns—given the speed of AI’s deployment and human job displacement—it’s well past time to ramp up support for a universal basic income.

Because no one really knows how automatable their jobs are.

And we've had "smart" tools for quite some time. I work in aerospace and we write a lot of test cases and test procedures. A system on an airplane can have a lot of variables that need to be tested robustly. So we developed a tool that wrote 450,000 test cases and the procedures for them. We took 1 of our smartest engineers who spent a couple years getting this to run right. So we paid 1 guy for 4000 hours instead of the team of 100 engineers working 4000 hours each to write 450,000 TCs and TPs.

And that's how AI will work. It won't be replacing an accounting department at a large corporation, it will be taking a small team of accountants who also understand AI tasking and having those few people replace the dozens of accountants that were previously employed. There will still be a human element in there somewhere for a while at least.

My advice is be that AI expert. Whatever you do, start figuring out how AI can help you or if it can help you in the future, and become the expert on that. Those are going to be high salary jobs, but very competitive ones.

I think AI is really Armageddon for white collar workers. I really don't know what a lot of degrees will be worth soon.

now have to eat their own words.

You know, go learn literature or painting, guys. Something that pays!

humans can work for ICE apparently since they're hiring anyone.

... AI enhances way more than it replaces and is far from broligarchy's promised scale without crap tons of errors and rework.

Yet the corps who are screaming AI is coming are outsourcing and abusing work visas

Broligarchy should *** NOT*** be trusted at all

Just that they aren't finding work.

A degree from a known university with a solid resume and references can lead to jobs not in coding. With a little effort, you could qualify as a systems engineer, admin, dba, systems architect, contractor, or sales engineer.

But I get there are tens of thousands of experienced people hitting the streets, and that the economy is crashing.

But even if coding jobs were to largely disappear, there are still other jobs AI isn't up for just yet. Companies of all types still need what we affectionally called "smart hands". These were smart tech types who could carry out instructions on-site, even if they had no experience with a particular product.

Skills pay the bills, and the one thing a college degree gets you is that you know how to learn, how to solve problems, and the confidence to try. Colleges were never meant to be job training. They are meant to expand your mind and teach you how to achieve.

AI is the new H1B. Sooner or later, some idiot will accuse me of being AI during recession.
