Now that AI has fundamentally destroyed the entire tech market, where can CS incels go? We can't have every 35 year old ex-FAANG working at McDonalds.

Things like working at the Verizon store or Best Buy, being the IT guy at a public school who goes around fixing the projector and plugging in keyboards in the computer lab, working at a hotel or apartment complex completing work orders like changing light bulbs or looking into why a light switch isn't working, stuff like that

I just got my Master's degree and I'm probably going to just work at TSA or something. As long as I'm in an air conditioned building and can sit down most of the time, that's good enough for me.

If AI destroys the tech market, it will destroy every market and nobody will need to work anymore.

Correct. Because everyone who no longer provides economic value will be culled.

Enshitification with AI is a lot easier with software than with other industries. If you fuck up your accounting or lawyering or doctoring, you often get banished from working in the industry for life, or get sued into oblivion. If you ship out complete dogshit code, that's every big tech company for the past 10 years.

if "AI" can autonomously do tech jobs it can do others too lol. It's probably some sort of AGI at that point. Accounting i hear is similar to coding at this point. Experienced accountants can do job faster with ai
>>
>>108770567
I'm just saying AI sloppification can downsize the job market without it being AGI. Much more so for software than other industries since there's no loss if the new Windows, Chrome, Apple, etc. update sucks shit. They have no legal requirement to be good and of course there's no market pressure whatsoever.

not everyone is apple or microsoft. Most companies have contracts with fines defined, work for profit instead of infinite money and have a reputation to maintain. Actually most common way to use AI for non meme corps is to leave responsibility to dev for his own code. Just like before.
FAANG is extremely sheltered from normal soft dev

I must say, profession that tried to scary everyone that AI would take over their jobs, adapt or die and so on would be the first profession to be replaced/reduced by AI is quite funny, meanwhile tranny artists still drawing furry porn.
What were they thinking?
Flood of indians with LLMs will only get more brutal.
>>
>>108770120
get into hardware repairing stuff etc. with the help of llms the entry barrier is a bit lower depending on your aims fixing robots will be the next dream job for a couple decades before that gets replaced as well. I don't think a couple luigis will stop the coming transformation question is if you want to ride the wave or be swallowed by it.

Ignoring how the AI can't decide if it's drawing birds or drones, why would humanoids do deliveries?
Wheeled and tracked drones have never been more affordable.

>he thought getting paid $375k a year to perpetually update a "web" "app" was a sustainable long term career.

>>108770181
I started my career working in a middle school doing exactly shit like that as well as running the library and helping kids check out books. It was peaceful but $1400/mo was completely unsustainable.

Europoor here. Most of my colleagues and former classmates are either unemployed now or have moved into retail, warehouse work, and delivery services.
My mentor from my first internship is currently working as a janitor. One of my previous coworkers, a senior with a PhD, is now a cemetery caretaker.

I also know a few people who are rushing to complete vocational courses to become electricians or plumbers.

As for me, I am currently working in a warehouse.

Overall, this career shift wasn't that scary for me. I only earn about half as much net income as I did before because tech workers in Europe deal with low salaries and high taxes.

For people in the US, something like this would probably feel like the end of the world, as you would fall into absolute poverty and your salary would drop by four or five times or even more.
>>
I don't really care too much what I do now. Have a house car and a few acres + small amount of savings after over a decade in this racket. Min wage or some kind of trade is enough from here on out.
>>
>>108770541
The mistake everyone makes here is thinking that the degree means anything.
In reality, smart, creative, productive, social and organized people tend to find ways to be successful. Dumb lazy people don't. Lots of dumb/lazy CS grads went nowhere in the last 20 years already, well before AI. 2020-2021 was an anomaly due to the covid bubble.

If you have been on the sidelines seething at programmer salaries, there's a roughly 100% chance you are in the dumb and lazy group and will be a failure at whatever you do.
>>
>>108772479
I guess I should qualify that it's the reality in the US. As I understand Europe tends to have a much more discouraging and constrained work economy.

Subsistence farming.
90% of programming jobs are already unnecessary. There is a lag time because company workflows haven't caught up yet.

>>108772479
How do I not be lazy then? It's impossible to know how to navigate this AI shitstorm if you're not an autist who jumps gleefully whenever React gets an update, as if that gay ass "news" is interesting. How does one navigate the current tech marketplace as a regular person? I'm lazy because I'm scared. I don't know what's worth learning, what's worth sinking 100s of hours into. Fuck, I just want to make money working on the computah, and I'm not a 10+ year veteran.
Fucked up thing is I'll just get the retarded 'buy kneepads' answers.. FUCK

Have you considered a career in committing acts of terrorism against corporations and the state? Nothing to live for is just nothing to lose when you stop being a pussy.

>If you fuck up your accounting or lawyering or doctoring, you often get banished from working in the industry for life, or get sued into oblivion.
That's just a legal/cultural barrier. Those can be broken down, especially if there's money involved
>>
>>108772479
Nothing matters. Someone helps you get a job and you spend your career faking it and pretending to care about things.
>>
>>108772974
Why should you navigate this AI shitstorm right now? Just relax and wait a couple of years for the hype to die down and for everything to become more consistent.

Learning the AI stack is extremely easy. So called AI engineering is currently simpler than frontend development, as it requires minimal knowledge and skills. If you need something in the future, you will be able to learn it easily as long as you have a brain.
