"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.

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.

Sometimes I wonder why jobs are being offered at all.

Wouldn't it be more efficient for the Gentry Class and the Enforcer Class to remove/relocate the other Classes? They can then claim all of the newly freed assets for themselves, giving them all a huge profit.

It just doesn't make sense.
