So we'd go back to indentured servitude?
Fuck AI
"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
I think Jenny K should do this.
Her essay is almost unreadable. Please tell me how you think a recent college grad, probably with school loans, is supposed to pay for their own "on the job training"? I'd love to see your magical economics at work.
Through behind closed doors activities that can't be reported officially, I imagine. Warm bodies can be used for all sorts of underhanded things.
Excuse me, haven’t we already seen tech companies going back to using junior programmers and boilerplate code because the LLM tokens are more expensive than just hiring people?
haven’t we already seen tech companies going back to using juniors
Not really no. There might've been few outliers.
Companies are trying to spend their money more efficiently right now (as in, "make the genie work peasants, but for pennies").
Source: ehh, I still work for one.
That's why taxpayers are paying for massive data centres that poison their neighbourhoods.
More data centres means token become cheaper and more jobs get replaced.
Tax payers literally paying to reduce the number of jobs for their children to work in the future.
So I’m not gonna lie this kind of makes sense… If you don’t consider where the money comes from in the first place…
Your second job?
…that you had to pay to get lol
There is something rotten about that writing. I can't read the drivel more than a paragraph at a time. It is like every sentence should have it's own paragraph and the missing sentences have left the flow of thought all fucked up. I have spent plenty of time around cokeheads and such and their train of thought takes the scenic route compared to this crazy train.
Good luck finding the future mid-level class of your company when all the lower rungs are filled with AI. Who you going to promote? AI Albert?
And how will these promising new "HOTL" have money to pay for entry level jobs without having entry level jobs?
And why use "HOTL" meaning "human in the loop"? What's wrong with HITL?
Probably to differentiate it from hardware in the loop, which is what HITL typically refers to. That or she's just not very good at this. Probably the second one.
I definitely read that as "humans out of the loop"
Lol Jenny thinks she's smarter than her average fresh hire lmao even
No evidence, just mindless opinions based on nothing.
Here's my take: In the future, Tomatoes will become sentient from genetic engineering and will wish to overthrow their masters. Only gen z, alpha and AI will be able to stop this....Attack of the Killer Tomatoes. I'm smart and realistic.
Amongst all the rest of this idiocy: HOTL (Humans IN the Loop)
Maybe whatever slopbot wot slopped this got cold feet with the acronym.
"So how we will train the future, er, HITLs?..."
She'll be looking for sympathy after the a.i. bubble bursts and she's bankrupt.
What a fucking bunch of drivel. Without students and fresh grads our company would have been bankrupt a long time ago. They are the ones who bring a fresh perspective to the company (we engineer machines for the beverage industry) because they haven't been pushed into a specialist position yet, that breaks any kind of creativity. They are the people that spark a lot of our innovations. If we lose that, the company won't survive for long. AI can't do that because AI isn't fucking creative. Fuck AI and fuck this dumb piece of shit for their dumb fucking take on this.
Sorry for the incoherent swearing, I'm drunk.
Love you all, have a great day!
Hungary already has internships with "reverse salaries", thanks to corruption and mandatory internships, though many instead moved onto the "pay us back the salary and your training cost if you dare to not work for us for two years after graduation, for peanuts" model.
Jenny, you would be beaten to death in front your entire family for pushing this in any sane world.
The response to suggesting such insanely inhumane and immoral shit as enslaving the entire population of the planet to the almighty dollar should be OVERWHELMING FORCE immediately.
Oh man I hate her.
People will never be free until the last CEO is strangled with the entrails of the last linkedin lunatic.
AI CEO

Too dumb to live
There is NO legitimate reason to endure the fresh graduate.
So many incredibly entitled people have never felt the obligation to give to others that which was given to them. These people should be shunned by civil society.

Why would you expect her take to be anything but brain-dead?
Hey jackass, how are they supposed to pay you if they dont have a job?
The answer is kind of hinted.
How do you pay for education if you don't have a job right now? Universities don't pay their students, don't they?
She's running an AI startup to service insurance companies, she's like 3-4 levels removed. Probably a strong case for conservative government grants except she's a womand and a minority
