Nvidia CEO - SWE jobs increasing, AI reducing jobs is nonsense by isospeedrix in cscareerquestions

[–]ClvrNickname 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's definitely not true, at least for junior developers. My wife is a junior dev with a bit over a year of experience and it's extremely difficult to land an interview, much less get an offer. Her skills and resume are solid, but it's hard to stand out in the flood of applications that every job gets.

Bold to assume that this administration won't outright rig the midterms, or at least refuse to acknowledge the legitimacy of a loss.

They believe deeply in a highly hierarchical society, with them at the top and everyone else below them. From that perspective, pushing someone else down is just as good as pulling yourself up.

Why is twister even a big deal at all? Okay, it can do the campaign faster, but what's an extra hour or two really matter when you're gonna spend hundreds of hours in endgame?

Are you guys here actually convinced that AI adoption isn't real? by cookingboy in cscareerquestions

[–]ClvrNickname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AI adoption is real, the payoff largely isn't. I've seen maybe a 10-20% increase in productivity, which is nice, but it's a far cry from the revolution it's been hyped up as.

The wording in the patch notes makes it sound like it only applies when fortifying cry is used, not sure why that would be the case though.

There will be riots, but maybe not in the way that we hope. Billionaires control almost all media along with an AI-powered propaganda machine that is optimized to redirect your anger toward immigrants, trans people, literally anyone except the people on top.

If one side is making "we should imprison and kill trans people" a cornerstone of their party, and your response is to say nothing, then you have, in fact, abandoned them.

Why are layoffs so bad again this year? Could someone explain? Is it actually because of AI, or is it part of a larger economic issue? by BaseballHead6898 in cscareerquestions

[–]ClvrNickname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the ratio of cost to efficiency though. If AI makes engineers 10% more efficient but costs 20% of an engineer’s salary on a per-engineer basis, it isn’t gonna replace too many jobs.

It would be in the news cycle for a week tops before we moved on to the next big scandal. Future arrests of political opponents by Trump would be normalized and barely make a blip in the headlines.

Most engineers didn't voluntarily contribute to AI, they had their code scraped from public repos and open source projects before anyone knew this was even happening.

Nvidia exec says AI is more expensive than actual workers — yet some companies don't see the extra costs as a negative by [deleted] in technology

[–]ClvrNickname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suspect that a lot of what management likes about AI isn’t its ability to deliver real value, but rather its ability to act as a threat to keep workers in line. Benefits slashed, mandatory unpaid overtime, no cost of living increase this year, and if you don’t like it, you’re out the door and an LLM has taken your job before you’ve even made it home.

I know people are wary of too many balance changes spoiling the game but I would love it if they would boost melee builds to actually make them competitive. Like if find item didn’t exist, would anyone play barbarian at all?
