1-2 years probably. There will still be a question around who determines what "adequately" is for a while though. Presumably even if an LLM can do something in theory you wouldn't actually want it doing anything without human

I'm very working class. Almost everyone I know outside of work is either unemployed or retired so I don't think it's that. Like you I'm personally worse off for sure with tax increases and mortgage increases, but obvious

I don't know how this is possible. State pensions and universal credit went up 10% last year and will be going up another ~8% this year. I understand inflation has high, but most people have a lot more money coming in to make up for th

This does seem to be a lot more common in the US, I actually had this happen to me while working for a US company and the author's experience was very relatable – I was immediately locked out of my accounts and couldn't even say g

I realise the article contains the same typo, but the title is bugging me – it needs a space between "end" and "encryption". "Endencryption" is not a word. @dang ?

I agree, but AI models are growing in capability extremely fast. To put it in perspective when I was learning about neural networks in ~2009 it was still actively debated in the field whether neural networks were even the right paradigm for

The main cause here is that training AI models is extremely expensive so companies are cutting costs where they can so they can make these big investments without upsetting investors. It's also partly related to the higher interest rat

This is what I thought early last year when people were saying they couldn't find jobs, but after having some experience with the job market earlier this year it was absolutely brutal. I have 15 years professional experience, which for

I thought the same reading it – is it really this hard to build an app these days? Things were more far more manual and much less secure, scalable and reliable in the past, but they were also far far simpler.

What are you trying to achieve here? Are you trying to get any job, or are you trying to get a good job for a junior dev? A good junior dev job is still going to suck compared to any senior dev job. I'd argue your goal as a junior dev

It would need to be extremely reliable also. Imagine crossing the road and your vision just randomly freezes. I'd assume it would be so disorienting that you'd immediately lose balance and fall over. People may get seriously injur

Tech I think is particularly bad for people feeling insecure. We act like it's normal and shame those who don't do this, but the idea of having to constantly revamp your skillset every ~5-10 years to remain employable is not norma

I think people are overly attributing the end of low interest rates to the current job market in tech. The truth is over last 10-20 years we've gone through a huge technological boom which has driven the job market in tech. In the mid

It really depends what you're referring to as tech work here... Low IQ people in my opinion are almost incapable of tackling certain technical problems – generally those which require complex maths or reasoning ability. That said, most

Tech innovators for sure. Companies for the most part will just offer difficult products in the EU.

I wonder if anyone is AI for stuff like this? You could fairly easily train a model to look through a huge number of historical resources for potential visual matches to review.

It happens from time to time, but the extend to which it's happening at the moment is a reflection of the state of the market for tech workers. What tends to happen is the recruiter will be recruiting for a role, they come across your

Depends how you look at it I think. AI isn't directly replacing jobs, but it did suck most of the available investment capital from workers in 2023. AI companies were really the only tech startups getting funded in 2023, but unlike tra

Both things are probably true. The economy seems to be doing fairly well –– at least it was in 2023. Even tech is mostly fine, apart from the deeply unprofitable startups. The tech job market on the other hand seems to be suffering from sev

They'd need to have more knowledge than humans to do it better though.
