>AI destroys basically the only meritocratic career pathway that pays well

>>108952689
i went from programmer to porn artist, high iq csfags won.
>>
>>108952689
Codetrans are dumb lol
>>
I have a CS degree and am no-code.
Simply get into cyber security. I don't know why everyone pretends that the entire field is being automated.

Everyone knows that game design is a meme and programming is becoming more and more ramshackle. The last place left is systems engineering and operations, AKA SECOPS.
>>
>>108952800
I'm just going to go down infrastructure data eng/devops/devsecops/back-end dev. I'm too old to bother with another degree. But holy CS is a shitty field.

>>108952689
it didn't destroy shit tho. Maybe some frontend webdevslop, but making same ass crudslop is hardly an intelligent task.

Even there though i hear it's ass at making css and shit and just creates slow and sloppy frontends. Internet will probably be unusable in couple of years
>>
>>108953001
Stop shitting the board with your trans seethe
>>
>>108952689
The AI shit has a ton of opportunity to create businesses.
But doing it at a company seems like setting yourself up for hell. My job's suddenly turned into my normal job + being expected to stay on top of everything to do with AI. I'm learning more than I have since college, but holy fuck am I exhausted.
It'd be one thing if I could just jump to another job right now, and I could... but if I did, I'd likely be setting myself up for a situation where things are chill-ish for one year before I'm in the same situation again.
Also, I just don't have the energy to start over at another company right now. I used to think the way to get ahead was to jump companies every couple of years, but that's bs. Takes like a year for a company to trust you. A couple years to actually be treated like part of the team or receive a promotion.

>>108953260
idk what you fags were doing before but i always had to learn new shit on the job to keep up with industry retardation. ai didn't change this fact.
>>
>>108953395
The difference is that the previous things I kept up with increased my value. The new things are decreasing it.
I used to learn to increase my salary, now I have to learn get my company to pay more to anthropic.
>>
>>108953395
It's almost like we have different jobs.
>>
>>108953406
that's just the ai psychosis rn, corpos are throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks. This shit will pass eventually, the skills will still be useful though.
>>
>>108953223

>Being a retarded goyslave is so straight, amirite r/g?

ai didnt create overemploying zombie corps it was the interest rates

/g/ sucks now because it's just a bunch of third worlders who got access to AI and a minor code monkey job LARPing as how they feel white people "should" behave if they had a technical position in a white country. Their arrogance driven by making less than a fry cook does in an actual white country. While making code whose standard of acceptance is 'it doesn't crash'.

So they come here, pretend to be competent tech sector aficionados, mirroring themselves off of Apple ads in the 00s, and then never, ever, ever face the reality that they're still just as hated and expendable now as they were when the only work they could get was in drug trafficking or hard labor on factory floors.

>>108952689
It's not csfags as a whole, it's just /g/. csfags have relevant field knowledge to pivot, which /g/ can't do because most of this board is in the third world

Also they make images like this because this is how they feel they "should" behave after finally getting a job that lets them browse the internet for leisure, and seeing what white people have been saying about their dirty, lawless shitholes the last 20 years. Their response is to craft what they view as the "white man's humor" which is non-sequitur internet memes devoid of any humor whatsoever as internet humor generally required a firm grasp of the English language to understand the ironic parts of it prior to 2020 or so.

So they come to /g/, shit out what may be very clever humor in their native language, only other browns and third worlders get this brand of humor, so they spam it in every other thread making a diaspora of unfunny brown faggots pushing out what used to be genuine humorous content for English speakers.

Lmao

I can confirm, the other poster is either a shill or a retard, high likely a retarded shill
>>
>>108955658
>csfags have relevant field knowledge to pivot
no they don't lol
>>
>>108952689
It’s not leaving other careers unscathed lol. Researchers are getting obliterated already. Terry Tao is doing fucking ads for OpenAI lol. It’s extremely over for any intellectual profession.
>>
>>108956230
>Researchers are getting obliterated
source?
>>
>>108956201
It wouldn’t matter if they did anyway. Labor market is credentialist. You could have 100% of the skills and it’s completely meaningless if you don’t have exactly 100% of the credentials.

>>108956309
Do you think this is reddit or something lol, I’m telling you what I see
In math and hep-th AI is absolutely taking off, and frankly any gen z PhD candidate will have their job prospects decimated in the coming years. Funding is going to go to the superstars and leave even less for anyone else. Big problem is they can’t even leave to transition to an industry role either.

gotcha

>>108952800
>programming is becoming more and more ramshackle
It was like that for a decade at least. I mean a decade before this current AI boom.
> game design is a meme
It's not. But market is mostly dominated by chinese afaik. So they are the only ones who have money to throw at new things. Though even they do not really innovate, just push old slop in newer and newer packages.
I bet now is a good time to start pursuing such a career. Because people mostly stopped trying and market is currently cooling off. If you start now with aim of doing gamedev, in like 5 years you'll be doing fine. I'd risk it, simply because you have to learn so much that you will be able to change your goal later without losing anything.
>>
>>108953210
>Internet will probably be unusable in couple of years
The fuck? It's been unusable for a decade.
>>
>>108957470
it's bad but not to the point that you can't tell if it's mining bitcoins or not bad yet. Soon tho
>>
>>108953395
Once you lose your job, and that is inevitable at some point, you will struggle to get a new job because no jobs are willing to teach new skills any more. That's what makes me seethe. Learning itself is now seen as old-hat and retro.
>>
>>108955658
I always got that impression from /g/ 5-10 years ago. The AI seethe replacing tech-bro LARPers is the best thing that has ever happened to /g/.
>>
>>108957400
>no you can only post Reuters-approved statements on 4chan dot org help me aaa
Retard
Schwartz used Claude to write an entire QFT paper, so I can only interpret your denial as cope because you don’t like that this is really happening
>>
>>108957747
Do you think research is just writing papers?
>>
>>108957758
lol it did the entire thing, the simulations, the mathematical steps, the write up, everything lol
This is even happening in pharmaceuticals, papers have been dropping where AI was used to rapidly speed up research time
Stop coping in the most absolutely retarded ways and face reality
>>
>>108957788
What do you propose we do about it? Join the sloppers or find something that can't be automated?
>>
>>108957788
Oh, so we're now writing 100s of thousands of important research papers every day in physics and medicine? What has that resulted in?
>>
>>108957812
Also, if we're not writing that many, why not? That research is critical. It should at least be 1000s.

nobody did jack shit to themselves. an accurate question would be
>how did the 0.5% of 160IQ MIT/ETH/Berkley PhDs working at frontier labs take 8 figure payouts to fuck over the other 99.5% of CSfags
