Between 67-100% of students globally use YouTube as supplemental study material. Hot take, it's because college is this feudal-socialist-prussian historcistic (as in the book "the poverty of historicism") abomination that does not compete. Competition, and the ostensible...
most jobs are not actually 'hard' Outside highly technical fields like engineering or surgery, a huge chunk of what people do at work is learnable without a degree. Give someone 3 months of proper training and watch how many βqualifiedβ roles suddenly stop looking so special.
...trivialization of knowledge provided by the internet and auto didactic learning before it destroy any and all perceived value of the institution, because that's all they have left. It's the death of your ability as an individual to make and Impact on your surroundings, the...
@Blvebvrriess@Distant_Warrior ... In the adult daycare corporate slave making market. Relying solely on their paranoia inducing weight as an institution, becoming hives of all possible forms of degeneracy in the process. From alcoholism to rampant sex to supporting terrorism, abortion, and mutilation
@Blvebvrriess As @Distant_Warrior put it, it's a credentialist racket. I'd also like to add it's the death of personal agency and the utter smothering of competition turning meritocracy into some disgusting political compliance nightmare, where predictability and servitude are key.
@Blvebvrriess@Distant_Warrior Give back people's personal agency, distance jobs from human rights and let the utter simplicity of the whole thing implode the credentialst circlejerk of a market. Btw 96% of students globally use YouTube as supplemental study material. Since colleges don't compete...
@Blvebvrriess@Distant_Warrior ... is that corpo-politically it is less risky and more impressive to have college graduates working at your company, productivity and innovation be damned. Simple minded out-fancying the competition. What a joke.
@Blvebvrriess@Distant_Warrior It's all about who you know and if you've got enough capital and leverage to get around laws and bureaucracy. Also, fucking college. It's a reversr scapegoat. Everyone has their own answer as to why it is useful but the ockhams razor answer...
@Blvebvrriess@Distant_Warrior Working should make people more competent, with a focus on the "compete" part. Yet after years and years of experience, opening your own company is murdered by the weight of the non-meritocratic social entropy that keeps happening.
...Fun fact: cybergrift wants you to DM him for "activation" ππ€£π
Fun fact:they link to some telegram for memecoins on their original telegram.
What a fucking fag.
This is worse than not releasing his copy of the build of the game. It's actively scamming people.
Fuck you.
What happens when vibecoded frontend's become predictable, commoditized and observably lazy? Will the chuds over at the AI "labs" start secretly implementing some modern UI coding templates to keep their reductionist algorithms seemingly relevant? Putting the "artifical" in AIπ
@yashmp2004 Anegdotally that's why women SWEs have better odds, at least in Europe, for getting a good programming job. Being less pushy for achievement like testosterone'd up guys makes you more predictable. Btw this is not a dig at women. Just an observation :)
@yashmp2004 It's not about growth anymore, just managed decline. The less agency someone has (better degree, most leetcode tasks, most corporate linkedin asslicking, most willingness to exaggerate their experience) the higher their chance of getting the job. It's one big fuck you.
@maritimetank@omarismail In translation: AI HYPE IS BULLSHIT. They gave Google's transformer model a fuckton of parameters in 2022,then hit a wall with ChatGPT 5 and the rest is just keeping the ball rolling. A lot of the "labs" are just doing if statement esque BS to make it seem smarter.
@maritimetank@omarismail Here's a hint: watch the top of gaming GPU performance and how that will scale over the years. It's the same silicon. The size of transistors is ehat really drives gains, and is therefore the limit. Intel had multiple 14nm refreshes so it really isn't just microarchitecture.
@xxyllinn Arbitrage, baby! You try disrupting an existing business yourself and the long dick of private capital and their lobbied pawns will be πing you like a white woman in the middle east! It's the magical loss of personal agency :)
@mfachallenge@gerardsans You believe that optimizing your prompts will lead to to a better outcome or are you betting one the AGI tomorrow meme? Writing it by hand is possible now. If you know how to do it, AI will just slow you down, akin to the junior devs it "replaces"
