So there are multiple people in this thread who state their job is to unfuck what the LLMs are doing. I have a family member who graduated in CS a year ago and is having a hell of a time finding work, how would he go about getting one of these "clean up after the model" jobs?

It makes me so mad that there are CS grads who can't find work at the same time as companies are exploiting the H1B process saying "there aren't enough applicants". When are these companies going to be held accountable?

This is in no way new. 20 years ago I used to refer to some job postings as H1Bait because they'd have requirements that were physically impossible (like having 5 years experience with a piece of software <2 years old) specifically so they could claim they couldn't find anyone qualified (because anyone claiming to be qualified was definitely lying) to justify an H1B for which they would be suddenly way less thorough about checking qualifications.

It's so much worse than it was. AIs have absolutely murdered entry-level positions

Yeah companies have always been abusing H1B, but it seems like only recently is it so hard for CS grads to find jobs. I didn't have much trouble in 2010 and it was easy to hop jobs for me the last 10 years.

Now, not so much.
