Career-wise, even the usual insider mouthpieces are starting to agree that AI won’t kill CS:
But yeah, AI has definitely scorched the FOSS landscape. We will somehow figure out a way though.
it kills the joy in CS
I heard people being concerned that a job in CS would change from writing code to fixing bugs in AI code, and that sounds dreadful
A company i applied for and had 2 interviews at, is planing to do that…idk if i rather want to be homeless or do that and get lots money
No longer will need a software engineer but a software technician. Lol
Someone close to me is an accountant, and is facing layoffs, downsizing, and much-longer working hours, as management pushes remaining staff to use more and more AI in accounting analysis and reporting. Trying to get one accountant to accomplish what used to take several.
I’m surprised at the inclusion of “accounting” on this list.
Pretty crazy since I keep hearing from engineer graduates that they can’t find jobs anywhere.
Safe from AI replacement doesn’t mean safe from a recession that’s being covered up by AI circular financing and a convenient spin story for the resulting mass layoffs.
Until AI boosters are mercilessly persecuted like script kiddies of yore open source won’t get better. Codeberg has the right idea.
Hopefully it will widen the gap between those who can and those who cannot (at least yet), even if there will be loads of more of the latter.
