AI Thread Summary
Fresh computer science graduates are facing a significant employment crisis, with unemployment rates between 6.1% and 7.5%, far exceeding those of other majors. The rise of AI has led to the automation of many entry-level coding jobs, while high-paying positions in machine learning are increasingly reserved for more experienced candidates. The perceived value of computer science degrees is declining, as some successful individuals are finding lucrative opportunities without formal degrees. Experts suggest that pursuing degrees in physical sciences may be more advantageous in the current job market. The demand for software testing is expected to grow due to the complexities introduced by AI, highlighting the need for adaptability in the tech industry.

@TensorCalculus, @jedishrfu, @robphy i don't know if you folks have seen the two youtube videos below. It has to do with something call "prompt engineering" and AI as being a compiler. The second one by the same guy is talking about educational usage for AI. The second video is kind of vague while the first one, I am sure is important behind his massive technical word salad with python as its main ingredient. I don't have the technical expertise to be the equivalent of a food critic. Wait, even if I do, I would not want to sample any of it, is in python=super gross.

1) If you want to get a job done efficiently with computers, the first question is: "What is the job?". It is not which computer language, technique, or fad of the year to use. A specialist in the application has a real advantage over a specialist in computer science. Of course, both are important, but the application field often remains long after the current computer fad is long gone.
2) A lot of the advanced computer techniques are made available in program libraries and work environments for anyone to use.
