"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

They can't get a job because they do not possess any skills that are marketable.. I hate to break it to you, but going to computer Science school doesn't make you a coder, and doesn't make you good at anything.
Tbh I feel like computer science was the most overrated major this past decade and way too many students picked it.
Basically ever since the late 90s. The late 90s enshrined comp sci next to lawyer and doctor as the get rich jobs, except with super low education requirements.
I remember tons of folks when I was in college who didn't want to do any of this "nerdy crap", but they saw dollar signs.
Actually about 1997-2015
Most of the 90s was renegades and hobbyists. The gravy boat for lazy incompetants didn't start, really, until the post dot-bomb bubble pop settled around 2003ish
Exactly, as hard as it is to swallow for people, there was a time when coding was a cushy job that you could land after drinking through college. Those days are gone, and it's back to what it was when I was a dev: you made your own way; You made something awesome and you force companies to look at you and say holy fuck let's get this person they've got something going on.
I thought most corporations just used the free software made by people who've "got something going on" without paying. I keep seeing complaints about that crossing my feed in Mastodon.
What does this have to do with anything.
