Comment on GenZ grads say college degrees a waste of time/money as AI gets into workplaces

Comments

AI stands for Actually Indians. Office jobs are moving to India.

I don't get this meme. Who is doing this? To the extent I'm seeing anyone successfully replaced en masse by LLMs, it's Indian IT consultancies.

None of Amazon Just Walk Out, Nate or Engineer.ai used GPT-class LLMs.

Pre-ChatGPT (2022)? Sure. Meme applies. Today, it doesn't make sense--the closest comparison for AI's coding output is that of a mediocre offshore IT outsourcer.

I just cut 30,000 in managed services b.c I can self host the solution myself on a 300/yr droplet. The folks that were servicing us in the 2nd year (india) won't have the account now since I can do it myself.

Albertons/Safeway is laying off my relative and a bunch of others and moving their work to India.
