"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.

THE JOB MARKET IS COOKED AND UNIVERSITIES ARE DESPERATE (youtu.be)

College used to be sold as the ticket to a better job.

Now it feels like the ticket to... another application rejection.

Universities are suddenly trying really hard to convince everyone their degrees are still worth it, companies keep raising the requirements for entry-level jobs, internships are becoming impossible to land, and somehow people with PhDs are being offered $18 an hour.

So... what exactly are we paying for anymore?

In this video, we're looking at desperate MBA marketing, degree inflation, AI replacing entry-level work, ridiculous job requirements, and why standing out is becoming more valuable than collecting another checkbox on your resume.

The college I teach at saw a serious decline in computing enrollment last year, though it varied between majors. I haven't seen this year's numbers, but the school announced its first ever pay freeze. I don't think that's a good sign.

it cannot be a good sign if regression is consistent
