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.

They're still high on AI and the inevitable hangover is a few years down the line still. Maybe you can focus on your own software projects for a bit and take this time to do some work away from computers?
Most definitely. I got a generous severance package, so I've been doing tons of wood working, taking care of projects around the house, and hanging out with my kids. Unfortunately though, I'm a nerd and computers are my passion. I've done tons of coding projects in the meantime as well. It just blows my mind that someone with my education and career history can't find a job.
Yeah it's kind of crazy. I'm not a software engineer but my friends who are, feel like they're absolutely screwed. Spotify laid off 2500 people in Stockholm last year so there's insane competition for all jobs that do come out now.
The dumbest part of it is that AI means we need more engineers, not fewer. But it will take some time for the industry to figure that out.
As long as Daniel Ek can sleep at night....
I think we should make Daniel and Luigi meet.
