YOU'RE USING AI.

The age of discernment

Is this from a longer video? I wanna know the context of this!

If it makes you feel any better I have my masters and I have an IT degree and I’m not even working in the field I went to school for and making less money. Truth is the politicians have lied to us with their propaganda, promising us opportunities that we don’t have

Just got reminded of this banger again b/c it's the song that played at the end of "Carry-On" on Netflix. New Christmas movie classic w/ a UCD Christmas classic!

I'm digging the shorts sir

I just quit my programming job 2 weeks ago, i hated the paperwork and the endless meetings and how meaningless it felt, i will keep coding as a hobby and that does make me happy but never ever again as a job no matter the money. Will become a car painter now.

We need to walk away from the Internet all together.

I was wondering when you'd get into the short game. Best of luck 🫡

I have some experience, but it's never enough.

5:45 me when the experiment isnt working

production quality is insane relative to how many likes/views/subscribes you have, i genuinely expected to look at your likes and see plenty of thousands after a few minutes

I'll give you a tip on handwriting. Buy a fountain pen. My handwriting improves 1000 times for fear of being shamed for bad handwriting while using a fountain pen in public.

I looked down on ME as an EE until I took thermodynamics 1 and looked at the harder questions in the textbook. Now I look down at Business majors but that's probably going to change when I realize they are going to make more than me for less work.

my university got rid of like six one-credit add-on labs for classes like digital electronics, semiconductor devices, digital systems, Electrical Network analysis and a couple others. and they replaced them with two two-credit stand-alone lab classes called "Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering I and II" they were kinda bullsht because there was so much crammed into each lab that every week we were working on something completely different from the week before. one week we were measuring the mechanical and electrical characteristics of motors and the next week we were designing a differential oscillator with JFETs, then the next week we were implementing a PID controller with op amps. the class was all over the place and took way more of my time to accomplish than a two credit hour course has any right to take.

I wouldn't say more than 90%, that's bs. I'd say 20-30%. The average person is very dumb

Re: Unpopular Opinion 2 and the hardness of the classes I have degrees in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and physics. They all are hard but in different ways. Physics is mathematically the hardest, but engineering requires a lot of problem solving, which is difficult as well. EE is mathematically harder than ME, but I wouldn't say it is harder than ME. Some of the ME problems can be quite difficult to solve.

Also yea having to spend several hours a day just to learn calc1 was hell ........ having to now do calc 2 linear algebra and discreat math etc...... its like this shit shouldnt be like a buds selection to become a navy seal lol

As a undergrad CS student, I laugh at people who are on the out side so to speak. And go "your all a bunch of genious im to dumb to do blank" followed by i suck at math etc..... In reality I can teach a f**ing monkey to do this crap given enough time and effort. People are just lazy most of the time or have gas lit them selfs into thinking they are to dumb....

I honestly agree with math being as creative as 'art' (not sure about _more_ tho) The feeling I get when solving a higher order question is the same as when I draw or listen to music, it just *flows*

The like button on my videos seems to be unpopular, so make sure to show it some love 🙂‍↕

Nah I am too cool for hard drugs buddy. Crack Cocaine sounds lame

Because of this, I treat LLMs as a last resort choice reserved for when I just can't figure out how to do what I want myself, and even then I just ask for help getting an algorithm right or helping with some equation I need. I never ask it to generate code directly and never use any code the LLM I use at that point decides to volunteer.

I gave up looking tbh. There are 0 jobs available, and theres so many veteran people out there looking for anything, including associate or 50 percent pay cuts, that its basically the new creative positiin where you have to not plan on getting a job, but building something of your own.

You mean, before Google, we had to do our _own_ research!? Or...god forbid, read a BOOK!? It's just the same thing all over again.

i use chatgpt only with tasks that involve repeating same stuff over and over. like i keep getting really messy texts to work with, so i taught chatgpt how to format them. it saves me up to an hour and half of manual (and stupid) work

The "it can't be better" reminded me of old TV reports showing like GTA 3 footage, which.. looks very clunky by today's standards. And news reporters or whatever going "this looks like real life"

In my experience, the 'dumb' people you talk about sound like what I consider 'smart' people, have a good knowledge of fundimentals, are curious and willing to listen while also being able to entertain ideas that are so stupid that its funny while knowing fully well how stupid they are.. .. ......... He is not buying it, shit. DAMN YOU youtuber, you exposed my cover. How ever am I suppossed to show my face im public ever again?!?

It is a problem. My mom went to a chatgpt course and now she replaced her brain with chat gpt. Worst part is that it is working out for her in the short term, so she will never be conviced against replacing her brain with gibbidy. P.S. Love the effort that went into the video keep it up!

"These things we enjoy only provide fleeting happiness, they don't provide satisfaction." You nailed it, and I love hearing this from someone your age.. The "if it makes you happy" talk was something I frequently heard from my fellow GenXers when I was in my 20s. (Sheryl Crow even had a song with that very title during the mid-90s.) My age group seemed more intent on pursuing happiness rather than seeking accomplishment and fulfillment. It always pissed me off, because I admired the people before me who fought for civil rights or created major industries, but instead saw my cohort becoming a Who Cares generation. Nothing wrong with seeking joy, of course, but it should also be productive and/or enduring. I swear it's the reason disproportionately few people roughly my age serve in the U.S. House and Senate, although a lot of that comes from the number of people born in the 1950s vs. 1970s (the term "baby boom" didn't come from nowhere, after all). Of course, the irony of my standing so high and mighty about it when I was 25 is that my ultimate career choice came from a place of "well, it's fun!" My academic aptitudes were in STEM, where I probably could have or should have been a more productive and useful member of society. 😛

congrats on the new profile picture

Oooo new profile picture 😮✨️

New profile picture? It’s a nice upgrade

Leaving a like on this video is a great exercise for your brain 🧠

Why does everyone at 24 feels like life has ended? (Me included)😢 It's been just 4 years since we were 20, why we are so hard on ourselves 😢😢😢 i feel old!!! Like I've lost SO MANY years since I left high school that is insane😢 I hope, that time would give me great joys the years ahead ❤

mfs talk about "Innovation" and yet the only thing they innovating is new methods of sleep deprivation.

For every like on this video, 1 hour of sleep will be donated to an engineer in need 🙏🏽

This dude is hilarious 😂

Problem is, yall did the wrong engineering. Wanna be a Hydraulogy engineer? Structural engineer? A "lowly" Civil engineer? Jobs aplenty. We're always hiring, come get a paycheck. You want to be an environental engineer, nuclear engineer, or worse, mechanical engineer? Good luck finding a job. We dont have a use for hundred thousands of new mechanical engineers a year, and we're not building nuclear sites - yet.

Missed the point entirely. Sure, their ego would be noticed and checked during an interview, but that’s just it, they aren’t getting any with objectively impressive things to show. None of what you said shows up in a job screening.

The problem is that companies know they can hire actual talent, and at a cheaper price than at any time in recent history. Why would they hire someone right out of school over an actual established engineer with accomplishments? Experience trumps all. I am very, very sad at the reality right now, tech and engineering are in dire straits, and I'm sorry to him :(

what a piece of crap smh

moist critical

I am going to be to the job market soon and it's intimidating to say the least. Watching this helps me feel a little less afraid.

What... is this video. The entire intro is you trashing one person with almost no applicability to a general audience. No, their Reddit post is probably not written the same as their resume. I'm not sure how you expect a person to write this kind of Reddit post without rambling off their credentials. You're holding an informal, conversational Reddit post up to the same standard as a resume and mocking the person for it, which just feels really gross, especially considering they're a college student who is likely in their early 20s.

he probably has college counselors to go over his resume - however, while this will make it uniform and professional, you end up looking like "one of the crowd"

physically go to the place you want to work and talk to someone - the internet is saturated atm

Can you come down to reality for a second and leave the linkedIn homepage?

Don't agree with the statements being made about the person, the expectation of a job after college is completely different from how nice guys act, it changes completely when you treat human beings as things as well not just jobs You talk about the post striking a nerve despite your video being far worse at that given the comments. The entire watch is peppered with unnecessary insults that I can't possibly expect to help anymore improve, they will only end with someone being more stressed and feeling less deserving It's unfortunate that this is true but recruiters that act like you are one of the worst, most corrupt parts of the industry and I can guarantee sometimes it won't matter how good a candidate is, the candidate will not get the job

Eeeeeeehhhh.... you're making a TON of assumptions here. I don't disagree that coming off as a self-important twat is about the worst thing you can do as far as getting hired, well, ANYWHERE, goes... that said, the fact of the matter *is* that the job market of today is *not* what so many of us were promised all our lives growing up -- heck, that applies to most aspects of our lived experience. We were told to go to college, get an education, study this and that, join X organization, do Y extracurricular, yadda yadda... that if we did all of those things, that we'd be sitting pretty earning a nice living; that we'd be the bosses of our peers who took the 'easy' route and coasted on the back of their privilege and natural gifts. Anyone with any idea of what's going on around them knows that this objectively isn't the case for the overwhelming majority of us. We were encouraged to work at, say, FANG -- and for what? For more than half of us to get laid off within a few years of work, once all that venture capital ran out and the inherently unsustainable business models had to reckon with that unsustainability? There are a myriad of reasons why an otherwise very qualified and capable candidate ends up recieving seemingly-unending streams of rejections. *Could* it be that they're coming across abrasively in their CVs/Resumes? Certainly (though do you really think NO ONE who would have looked over it would have the mind to point out "hey, you're coming across as a bit of a twat" -- despite that sort of thing being evident enough for you to immediately assume that that's the case). That *could* be the case. But to just start out making that assumption? To essentially go "ah, well, you're probably just a conceited prick and that's why you aren't getting hired"? Idk, man. To me, at least, that smacks of a lack of awareness. It makes you come across as smugly as you assume the person who made the post to be. Like, you aren't saying anything that's necessarily *wrong* per se, but... I dunno. I can't help but feel like there were far better ways to make your point -- ways that wouldn't involve you condescending to someone who's clearly frustrated at the dissonance between what they were led to expect, and what *is*.
