@@plop_plop_plophas nothing to do with ai any time they lay people off their stocks rally… investors like when companies go lean in this economy because they’re showing they’re going to have a profitable year by cutting back meaning the investor can make money. So that positive feedback loop is hurting employers as these companies “right size”. AI has nothing to do with it. In fact, these companies aren’t innovating at all in this environment. They’re maintaining more than creating and that says a lot.

[@stillmattwest]

This. "We're using AI instead of expensive humans" doesn't sound good for potential employees or people reading the news, but it sounds great for stock prices. When a profitable company starts laying off thousands of people, it's all about stock prices, bonuses and greed. Tech has had ups and downs before. If the current downturn follows the same pattern, we should see a hiring frenzy when companies go back into growth mode. I'm guessing that will be when interest rates drop and venture capital starts flowing again, but maybe I'm just cynical. And no, generative AI won't be able to replace skilled software engineers. Have these people even used ChatGPT?

Developers were laid off to save money to buy GPUs. But AIs aren't good enough to actually replace devs.

Yet we will still issue 85,000 (general) H-1b visas. And most of those H-1b will be used to fill IT job. My guess is that this will be unchanged from previous years, at about 70% (IT, Software). So, what this means is that companies look abroad first, usually to the home country of the hiring manager. Please read DOJ vs Facebook 2020, 2600+ cases of discrimination against better qualified local engineers, in order to protect foreign engineers from better qualified (by Facebook's own admission to Federal Investigators) locals. Facebook settled this case, out of court, they never challenged the statements of their own HR employees made to Federal Investigators. Lying to a Federal Investigator carries a possible 10-year prison term for obstruction of justice.

Also do you know what perm is for green card application? Locals are definitely preferred. You have no idea how much efforts international students put in to get a good job, it’s thousands of resume submission and years of hard work. If u apply more than 1000 jobs in half a year and spend every spare time practicing leetcode and coding skills, and still not get a job, then blame.

[@jakeleone8944]

​@@Hideenlayer123The reality is you are completely wrong. Most of the coding jobs, that go to foreign workers, are low level jobs. Most of the H-1b workers, are freshers right out of college. We know this from statistics compiled by the U.S. government. We also know, most (more than half) of the H-1b visas go to Offshore Outsourcing companies, who bring in trainees. We know that foreign workers are protected from better qualified local competition, we know this from DOJ vs Facebook, where Facebook refused the free offer of the San Francisco Chronicle to place the Green Card certification job ads, also on the Chronicle jobs website. If it were truly an open competition for a job, Facebook would place these job ads not only on the Chronicle website (which they could do so, for free), but also on Facebook's own job's website. They never did. (BTW, the investigation found 2600+ cases of discrimination against better qualified local U.S. engineers by Facebook, over just a 1.5 year period covered by the investigation.) Instead. Facebook (and Apple did the same thing) buried the job ads in 2-Sunday print editions of the SF Chronicle, and would only accept a stamped letter containing a local's resume sent to a lawyer's office in Palo Alto. Because they were looking for foreign workers first and only. If Facebook was truly looking around, farily, and without prejudice, they would have not done these things. If it were an equal competition for a job, then Facebook would have allowed their HR to forward the resumes of the better qualified locals (they turn away). Better qualified than foreign workers doing the exact same job (but being certified for a Green Card), according to what Facebook's own HR personnel told Federal Investigators. Keep in mind, Green Card certification means you checked the local market first. Facebook deliberately did not check the local market. They in fact, lied when they said they did. They in fact committed MASSIVE discrimination against of U.S. nationality. So if you support such bigotry, they I do indeed blame YOU and everyone else who would support such racism. No, it is you who whine about having to compete with better qualified local U.S. engineers. You cannot defend such patently offensive and bigotted policies. Such policies are born of whining low level managers, that refuse to consider someone who is not from their own country. And immigration lawyers work with low level managers, to craft a competition protection scheme on their behalf, that prevents Facebook from acquiring the best talent for the job. It is corrupt. It is a fact bigotry and discrimination, by the very Federal definition of discrimination in the workplace. If this case were in any way not true, Facebook would have let the case go to trial. But no, Facebook never challenged the case in court, because they knew their own personnel were telling the truth, they would have lost, and it would have been ugly. The statements made are also supported from evidence gathered from the San Francisco Chronicle. We have strong, and complete evidence that mid-level managers, from a certain country, engage in job discrimination against better qualified local engineers. Please go read these indictments. Also, do some real research. Also, don't be tone deaf to the reality of the last 2-years. There is no shortage of local engineering talent in the U.S. already, yet there were still 400,000 requests for H-1b visas. And that occurs because mid-level managers refuse to look in the local market for the abundant local talent.

And over hiring large tech body counts. And just a lot of people just aren't able to code. Just my opinion FYI

[@scottbeall2212]

Try the public sector (government, education, etc). The salaries may be lower, but the benefits can be better (public pensions), they are more stable and don't work you to death. You won't make huge amounts of money and be able to retire at 40, but if you really think you are going to do that, you are deluding yourself. And an additional benefit, you can do work that benefits people instead of just shareholders and the CEO.

The majority of my friends who graduated university a year before me had no portfolio and very limited coding skills, no exposure to frameworks, or coding tools aside from what we learnt in our classes (more theory focussed). I personally don't have the time and energy to develop a portfolio now as I have bills to pay. Forced to work in help desk as this was the only opportunity I found. Might have to give up the idea of venturing into software development. It's sad, but it is what it is.

[@pedro.zurita]

Financially, for a company to claim AI use, looks fantastic. "We're still performing and now we can use AI" is really a way for them to cover their real problems user-base atrophy, monetization deficits, no real PMF etc etc. Instead now they look like forward thinking geniuses. Then there's the budget adjustment to pay their top C Suite brass...is Tesla firing 15,000 employees to save money and their CEO asking to be paid $56,000,000,000.00. an amount equal to 49 years of pay for the 15,000 people they just fired at 75,000 per year.

[@arnarfreyrkristinsson8650]

The worst part is, people say: "You are in demand, you should be able to find a job in a no time. You are just lazy or looking for the wrong jobs." I think these companies will start hiring again massivally when they realize that AI is not doing these jobs particulary well. It's because they WANT the AI to do it, it's an experiment or just a lame excuse. I'm optimistic it will go up when they wake up.

[@bradchellingworth5973]

its pretty ironic that AI is the cause for the loss of jobs in tech, but they need devs to help develop the AI so that it can replace more devs. Honestly, my gut feeling on this is that a lot of the noise around AI is hype, not all, but a lot.

I think you're better than this is a data analyst. This comes off as extremely biased towards a doomer perspective, which is probably pretty good for the algorithm, but it doesn't appear that you made any attempt to steel man or make any case in the more optimistic direction. First off, the idea that AI is actively taking Jobs is unsubstantiated. I certainly understand that companies were not State publicly if they were replacing their workforce with ai, but if you understand where the AI is at and you look at systems like Devin and others, you can see that we're a ways off from successful replacement. Second, tech has senn several downturns with layoffs much worse than the last round, and sure enough, the engineering jobs came back, even if they looked a bit different. Third, if you look at true up and other sources as opposed to simply relying on indeed which is a pretty outdated sight, you'll see that the stories a bit more complicated in terms of a number of open roles. There's been several massive growth spurts post layoffs. Finally, AI roles are not fundamentally different than other IT and SWE jobs. AI systems rely on fluent data pipelines and easy to use software. It's one thing to not have a particular passion for neural nets or llms, but I would say that if ai and powerful statistical systems aren't interesting to you at all, then you don't find technology isn't interesting, and you probably shouldn't be in the tech sector. But if you do like building technology, stay fluent in the most recent tech, be patient, and work hard. Nothing in life or ever will be a guarantee, but pessimism without skepticism is just cynicism. I'm not trying to sit here and say everything is sunshine and rainbows, but the presentation of the data I found very unbalanced, and you strike me as smart enough to do better😊

Sure, you can learn how to code on Udemy or whatever and you can get a job if you’re good, but if you did not learn any work ethic during that period what use was it?

[@user-yg1dg6xm2g]

We don't need new immigrants to take on jobs since AI is taking on that role.

[@NotRektYET]

What about Section 174, and US interest rates? I think those are the most important factors in why the coding job market hasn't been the best for the last few years, not sure why youtubers are not talking about it, just saying the same stuff about AI and other useless information :/

[@furqantarique3484]

I hope AI will not take me out

[@NigamMachchhar]

Not sure why every country have government when they don't want to do anything for people. Gov must restrict company to use AI at certain level and if company goes beyond the limit then company must pay 4 time of tax, implement this and see how AI use will be reduced. Current impact is job cuts but no one thinks for next 20 year that from where we will get knowledge if AI will do everything. Simply just think collage pass out student working for tech and build experience over years now how we will achieve this if company is not ready to give job to freshers? Even if there will be bug in AI who will correct that as no one knows coding in next 10 year because our company was developing code with AI, now no one knows what is meaning of this error in code....LOL!!!! Concern is knowledge is getting vanished with AI, people will become more dumb day by day and lazy too!!

[@aksel58]

have people become more dumb when a calculator was released? Mathematics of that time was saying the same thing I suppose. I think that nothing has changed drastically here, after a while the complexity of tasks will increase to the level unreachable for LLM, and companies will need more workers again, just more qualified..

[@carultch]

@@aksel58 As a matter of fact, yes. Most people wouldn't know how to survive, if they were abandoned in nature, away from society. Prior to the industrial revolution, everyone knew how to live off the land and not be dependent on society for their survival.

[@justjackie4394]

​@@aksel58Yes, because people used to know how to do complex mathematics without a calculator. Some could do it in their heads. 🤷🏾‍♀️

It’s not AI, it’s the corrupt Biden government letting these companies run the country According the government numbers there are plenty of job openings, this Biden government is literally lying, cooking numbers and gaslighting people as if we’re the idiots. He imported 1.5 million international students, there is storage of H1Bs or L1’s, it’s all for cheap labor. He’s letting these companies ship jobs overseas, this government is soo corrupt, letting companies buy thousands of single home families, sending 100’s billions to other countries which is money laundering. All these democrats has to offer to win the election is do lip service about abortion rights, gay rights, and racism bs Now it feels like we actually shouldn’t have Women voting rights they are soo easy to manipulate by the government or corporations.

Hi Dee, If somebody can show us how to get meta ai chat to work on a windows laptop that would be great! It works on my mobile, but, after logging in with Fbook in windows, the chat interface at meta,ai is no longer available.?

Capitalism has achieved its goal: making a lot of people become developers to drive down wages.

[@nessi4521]

If all of you tech guys feel these companies are going to give you all that kinds of salary like the previous years you'll better think again.....when AI can do it cheaper.

The market is fucked

[@InvestorX634]

Interesting video! Just one thing, though: when you pronounce "tech" you say it like "tick". The correct pronunciation would be more like "teh-k"

[@programming500]

Why do you care so much about that? There are no single correct pronunciation of words. Ever heard of accents?

[@VTSifuSteve]

This young lady speaks beautifully and clearly, with a bit of an English ...and perhaps Indian(?) accent. Not to mention that she's stunning. Either you're a hillbilly or you're just bitter!

[@Hshjshshjsj72727]

Thanks. Also its “tEHk” not “tik” 😊

So Ai jobs are increasing but it would be stupid if people will work for this jobs because if ai is already taking jobs, then when people go working to make the ai performance much better then it will take their work also over time! So we are breaking our own hands by making the ai better then us! We are killing ourself not knowing this, just like the theory of how to catch a wolf.

[@Heli_Junkie]

AI will eventually replace all of you. 😄

[@VTSifuSteve]

"AI will eventually replace all of you." Not me! I'm not in tech ...and I'm retiring at the end of this year. I'd laugh and call y'all "suckers" except I've got a son who was a well paid tech wiz, who got laid off and is now working floor sales at Home Depot. Dismal!
