      Make sure you don’t put “Al” by mistake though. You’ll only get offers to be part of “bodyguard/long-lost pal” collaborations with people called Betty.

    Remember the meme about everyone could have a 32 hour work week and three-day weekends (and a productivity boost) but the billionaires are opposed?

    Well everyone could have post-scarcity communism but the billionaires are opposed.

    Don’t sell your self short like that. I’ve been working since 2003 in engineering and I wouldn’t trust anything that came out of an AI without confirming it with someone with a degree.

    Additionally, think of AI as a librarian with photographic memory. It will never ask the right questions. Additionally its memory is influenced by what it has read and its not photographic is mixographic…it will remix any text you give it. Best it can do is not misspell words. Otherwise you can’t trust anything it returns.

    You on the other hand can do all sorts of knowledge gathering, inferring, etc and make knowledge based decisions rather than text based decisions.

      The problem is you are working in engineering and understand the limitations. The decision makers at corporate don’t care, they see bonuses based on short term cost savings.

    graduating is not daunting. not by any stretch. in fact, that’s the point where life peaks. everything after is a steep downhill ride.

    yes, ai adoption has turned that downhill run into a cliff. but if someone thinks graduation is even remotely daunting, then they would struggle even in the most non-ai of worlds.

    Unpopular opinion: Younger hires are garbage workers. Entitled. Cannot accept criticism. Quit the moment things get too hard. Incompetent. Argumentative with supervisors. On phones too much. And late all of the damned time.

    Now add shitty workers with CEO’s cutting billionaires and AI and yep, job market sucks.

      I think the younger generation might be the first one that can’t buy into the bullshit society sells you at the labor market.

        That’s can be true and it is ok.

        But from the “don’t buy the bullshit” to “be a decent worker” there is a very big difference.

        And that’s why the younger generation is overwhelmingly underemployed and overwhelmingly voted for Trump further supporting my belief in their lack of quality judgement.

          Oh look, more fake election results. You need to stop saying things until you can recognize when a “factoid” isn’t even remotely close to believable reality.

      It reeks of shitty boss. I’ve heard the same bullshit from old folks 20 years ago that couldn’t use their computers to save their live.

      When everyone’s an asshole, the common factor is you.

      Social contract has been broken, why should they keep abiding by the terms?
