how to stay futureproof in tech?

i don't know

It's SO over. People are just coping at this point. Coding as a profession is finished!

True. Now you can do it for free during your spare time.

Learn how to love. And forget how to hate.

It's just a headline to promote their Agentforce product, they're not actually firing anyone. It's like Meta announcing 6 gorillion layoffs every other month.

It was finished since the beginning.

"Coding" as a profession implies knowing shit about "programming" and, moreover, knowing shit about computer science and all the underlying fundamentals of programming.

I'm pointing at those "Coders" that appeared after the bootcamp boom and the coding boom. They have been rendered useless by AI tools and rightly so, because, just as ChatGPT and other LLMs, they can't reason or produce consistently high quality stuff.

>>106477053 (OP)
My company is investing heavily into AI tool usage and I don't feel like the productivity has gone up one bit. Why are all these CEOs saying they need drastically less people now? Sounds like they're just covering up their downscaling

Are u a coder?

>>106478794
Yes. We all got Claude code and copilot

Interesting, I've heard a lot of stuff related to AI for coding.
Supposedly it would be capable of creating complex programs, reducing the need for many coders. . What has your experience been like so far?

Whoa, that's deep.

It greatly speeds up writing simple programs or code snippets.

It also can greatly speed up the producion of complete modules or programs. However, you'll have to review the output.

And, ALL THE TIME, you must be able to read and understand the outputted code.

ALL
OF
THE
TIME

Thus, if you aren't a bona fide programmer, don't use those AI tools and expect to be able to produce PRODUCTION-QUALITY systems from it.

Is that why they just caused 3 of the biggest data leaks ever?

>>106478780
>My company is investing heavily into AI tool usage
That's honestly better than the alternative: investing heavily into indians.
But regardless it won't be long until the US tech industry is fully outsourced to jeets using AI tools.

>>106477053 (OP)
With AI? Just wait. Eventually the hallucinations in models will get so bad that the models will go insane(hallucinate and act chaotic nonstop) because there's not enough power to run the error correction GPUs. And because whenever you feed energy into a system, entropy(chaos) increases, and these error correction systems will cause the model to hallucinate more and more.
It's unsustainable, because computer scientists don't have a remedy to prevent insanity like living nervous systems do(REM sleep), they just keep stacking more energy into it like feeding a methhead more and more meth.

You'll be hired to save the day and have your old job back again after the fad subsides.

>>106477053 (OP)
These layoffs aren't necessarily all programmers and engineers. It's usually menial stuff like KB administrators or the guy who only writes terraform configurations.

>>106477053 (OP)
> CEO of company that is heavily betting on AI and wants to sell everyone their Agentforce AI crap claims AI is useful
Shocking

>>106477053 (OP)

make your own tools or just grind day after day

Marry COO, CFO or CEO's daughter.

Go back to school for an MBA degree so you can be a CEO and lay everyone off.

ya ok.
only retards believe this shit. it's just PR to boost profitability short term.

>>106477053 (OP)
All the layoffs from AI are bullshit jobs anyways.
HR drones (let managers hire directly)
Salesmen (should have been gone when the internet became a thing)

The article was about customer service agents

>>106477090
Quite the contrary.
You see, the propagandists are actually the one eating up their own lies the most.

I think in the end, it will be the only job left for the whole of humanity.
The whole of society will have been solved and automated by robots.
And the biological human's last function will be to keep their own existential demise at bay by lying to themselves, all day long, about how fulfilling their life is.

They'll just put in for 8000 H1B Pajeets like Microsoft did. Their CEO is jewish of course. They're always looking for an excuse to flood the US with more 3rd worlders.

>>106477053 (OP)
>Salesforce
nothing of value lost

AI is just smoke and mirrors for pajeets. They're mass outshoring to pajeets and mass importing pajeets.

>They're always looking for an excuse to flood the US with more 3rd worlders.
They're doing what any capitalist would do: reducing expenses. It's no conspiracy, it's just the way the system works.

>>106477053 (OP)
CEOs won't be happy until they don't need to employ anyone and can take all the profits themselves

>>106482898
No, if they wanted to reduce expenses, they'd stick to AI and not hire anyone else. They don't do that though, they end up importing pajeets ontop of using AI, so they're still wasting money. To (((them))) though, it's a win since they can further destroy a country with 3rd worlders.

Wont be long until the best option is to buy a boat or something and go live in the wilderness on some uninhabited island or some other uninhabited location

interesting take
but we already partake in many activities that dont have an immediate utilitarian purpose- vidya, art, religion
the market shows the irrationality of human behaviour pretty well:
like in the demand for vintage or handcrafted products

tldr: i think humans will focus on frivolous pursuits
some will utilize advanced ais to express their creativity
some will play god immersed in a virtual reality
some will travel humanity's domain. bc even now theres enough space in it to spend an entire life traveling and still having places to visit.

i think we will become much more individualistic creatures because we wont need others either
o gregarity might fade out as an instinct/learned behaviour
