AI driven mass layoffs have begun: SDEs are being replaced
https://www.fastcompany.com/90888639/dropbox-tech-industry-layoffs-ai-job-cuts One good thing about this is that it will greatly drive down wages across tech, resulting in cheaper housing.
That just means they are hiring AI specialists
Now all engineers are already studying ML courses so they will all become AI engineers
Yes, every 200k-300k CRUD monkey is going to become an AI specialist
So what else do you suggest?
Driving down wages won’t result in cheaper housing, the buyers are mostly institutional and foreign investors, not individual wage earners. OP sounds like he wants to eat the bugs and own nothing and be happy.
No actually, they aren't. Investors are still small factor kn the market (with extremely high risk of regulation) and investors won't invest when there are no buyers 😂 Bay Area is held up entirely by overpaid tech workers whose wage bubble is now popping.
The Bay Area is a fraction of the real estate market, and is also heavily propped by investors, whether they call themselves that or not. Prop 13 NIMBYS
OP can’t read, no wonder they’re afraid of ChatGPT.
Dun dun dun https://www.hrreporter.com/focus-areas/automation-ai/survey-finds-many-employers-laying-off-workers-because-of-chatgpt/373964 Keep head in sand
@havahe can you please share a list of companies using chatGPT to do all this. I’d love to short them over the next 4 years.
This thread makes it obvious Amazon didn’t lay off enough H1Bs.
Well AI tools did make a bunch of ppl get laid off here in semi a few years back. I guess some part of the swe space will be laid off (eg AI can do front end stuff, database stuff, QA etc). I think it’s a no brainer that such swe will get laid off this decade.
What areas do you reckon are less prone to this sort of automation ?
*areas of software engineering
OP didn’t read the article. They’re focusing on AI skills, which the current workforce lacks, so the 16% can’t fill that new role. AI didn’t replace their jobs.
If you need explanation, you likely will be replaced by chatGPT as you obviously lack some fundamental critical thinking to reason about how the world works. By your logic which you contradicted in your own statement, everyone should use either use one drive or google drive and everyone should just drive Mercedes instead of BMW
OP needs reading comprehension. The article says nothing about AI replacing engineers, it’s about companies needing engineers with AI skillsets to develop AI driven products
OP going to get replaced by an AI
To some AI means “artificial intelligence” to others it can arguably mean “actual intelligence”
