[quote=Anonymous]Instead of viewpoint diversity maybe we should talk about actual education? Unpopular opinion here, but I think a lot of companies are looking at ai to replace base level laptop workers in large part because the basic quality of graduates fell off a cliff sometime in the last decade. I consult in tech and one of the recurring conversations we're having is the basic skills issues with new grads, new hires, and interns. For reference, I graduated this century. I'm now supervising people who graduated within the last 5 years from much more prestigious programs from far more prestigious universities. They lack skills that were considered normal a decade ago. Worse, they seem to be allergic to learning. We probably will opt not to retain any of the interns at the end of the year. I genuinely feel sorry for our latest crop of interns. They have degrees, but somehow failed to acquire skills. In a bigger sense I feel a lot of them are deeply uneducated. I think politics has become a crutch for not talking about the basic failure of higher education to maintain standards over the past two decades. So we're churning out graduates who will in many cases always be underemployed because they came out of school with degrees but minimal education.[/quote]
