The Internet is either a terrible or great analogy.

I mean, the number of travel agents declined 95% but the number of web developers and the millons of other new jobs created by the Internet (and then mobile devices) dwarfed the number of jobs lost by like 10,000-to-1.

That’s how all new technology has worked…it creates new industries that actually create more jobs than the jobs they destroy.

The big ? Is what massive new industries will AI create…or will it just kill jobs?

All of you who think AI will have little to no impact on your precious highschool seniors and college grads entering the workforce are sadly delusional. No CS majors/software engineering will not go away completely but it will no longer require 10x as many employees as it once did.

The future is in humanities major. Employers are going to want people capable of thinking and working with AI, not people who do the coding.

LMFAO

Do you think that's it in CS -- coding?

AI will wipe out most jobs. Specially mid level high paying jobs. It’s starts with the new hires and works up the ladder.

Travel agents making a come back

You laugh now.

I'm not laughing. I got tired of spending hours surfing the internet for deals and just have a travel agent book cruises and flights and everything else for me and it turns out the price is the same.

spoken like an idiot who has no understanding of AI. AI is producing code slop at the moment. Companies arent hiring new grads because of the glut of cheap experienced talent from layoffs not because AI is that good

The layoffs are because AI makes senior developers much more productive. The slop that AI makes isn't too different from what a junior dev makes, but is way faster to iterate with.

That and the pure fantasy of it all. No matter how it pans out, tech companies are high on their own supply and will decimate their workforce first.

My cs kid got an internship at a large tech company this summer making 40 per hour. They've asked dc to come back next year.

Can you tell us about these humanities students working at Starbucks?

DP

James Madison humanities grad, ubereats driver
Radford humanities grad, personal trainer
Randolph Madon humanities grad, barista but not at Starbucks

OTOH Columbia humanities grad, consultant at MBB

I think the school matters a lot for humanities grads.

Not really. It has more to do with the student and their drive and motivation. A Radford and Randolph macon student is typically VERY VERY VERY different from a Columbia student in that respect (and academic abilities) that is what drives the differences, not the school

If AI is going to take over all jobs then it does not matter if people come here to work on H 1 B? Right? Right? I mean everyone will be screwed.

I disagree, even AI needs to be taught and coding is the only way to do this. In particular, AI doesn’t know how to make things accessible for those with disabilities- and must be coded by people who know.
