The title is a bit misleading. Reading the article, the argument seems to be that entry-level applicants (are expected to) have the highest AI literacy, so they want them to drive AI adoption.
- gerdesj 9mo agoI hope they have a good 10 years experience in that "literacy".
- MikeNotThePope 9mo agoI just run sub agents in parallel. Yesterday I used Codex for the first time yesterday. I spun up 350,640 agents and got 10 years of experience in 15 minutes.
- cruffle_duffle 9mo agoNew metric: agent-hours spent on a task. Or so we measure in tokens. Clearly more tokens burned == more experience right?
- AlexCoventry 9mo agoThere are actually books which recommend that organizations track employee tokens burned as a proxy for AI adoption. Surprised me a bit.
- reactordev 9mo agoit's the only KPI available.
- ponector 9mo agoYou should also mention how many millions lines of code you* created.
- gunsle 9mo agoUnpatchable xp glitch
- onlyrealcuzzo 9mo ago25 years of LLM experience for a mid-level
- dgxyz 9mo agoSounds like the first step of a galactic scale fuck up
- outside1234 9mo agoIt is IBM after all
- dgxyz 9mo agoTotally fair point.

- dgxyz 9mo agoIt certainly feels that way. I was there. Fortunately had just waltzed into the tech side of things and scurried off back to my professional career for a couple of years. I watched a lot of stuff burn. It was horrifying. We are nearly there again.
- joquarky 9mo agoFor a time, there was a lot of good deals on nice used office furniture.
- dgxyz 9mo agoYeah got a nice desk and a trinitron out of it. Covid got me an Aeron :)
- forgetfreeman 9mo agoYeah similar story here. I had to spend a couple of years painting houses before the local market recovered enough that tech jobs were a thing again. Shit was surreal. There was one guy I knew that went from building multi-million dollar server and networking projects for IBM to literally working as unskilled labor on a fencing crew just to make rent.
- _heimdall 9mo agoAt least today, I expect this will fail horribly. The challenge today isn't AI literacy in my experience, its domain knowledge required to keep LLMs on the rails.
- giantg2 9mo agoPeople literate in AI, but inexperienced in all other facts. What could go wrong!
- reactordev 9mo agoClawdBot Boardroom Edition
- palmotea 9mo ago> People literate in AI, but inexperienced in all other facts. What could go wrong! It sounds like it's appeal to MBAs, who are people literate in management, but inexperienced in all other areas.
- thegrim000 9mo ago"AI is going to wipe out junior developers!" They actually hire more junior developers "Uhh .. to adopt AI better they're hiring more junior developers!"
- easterncalculus 9mo agoThis cope is especially low quality with the context that this is just another purge of older workers at IBM.
