[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good for all you STEM people. The superiority you all feel over humanities majors is priceless. Now you’re among the first to be pushed out of your high paying jobs by AI, even as you breathlessly hail it as revolutionary tech that will improve all of our lives. Maybe you should have read more, about ancient civilizations or philosophy, but then you would start to understand the moral conundrum we are all in. [/quote]

We are the ones building the AI that you are so scared of. [b]Most people in tech know more about philosophy and ancient civilizations than the non-philosopher and non-historian humanities majors anyway.[/b]

Your saltiness about tech salaries aside, it doesn’t change the reality that most of these majors have always had low demand and are the jobs are held by a small coterie of privileged elites.

The problem is that more and more students have enrolled in college without bothering to research the numbers of jobs and pay available in their chosen fields.

Smart people who don’t come from privilege have always had to identify where they could put their skills to make money to earn a living and it is always changing as you point out. Nothing new. [/quote]
