Every day there’s more big job cuts at tech and games companies. I’ve not seen anything explaining why they all seam to be at once like this. Is it coincidence or is there something driving all the job cuts?

The chatbot that’s wrong 50% of the time? That’s hard to believe.

You’re doing yourself a big disservice if you limit your understanding of AI to what you read from the opinions of Lemmings. It is incredibly powerful, and every major corporation has large investments in AI integration.

Yeah, it’s pretty scary. I don’t know what the future holds, but I think a lot of jobs are going to go the way of the vacuum tube salesman.

And how many major corporations that invested in NFTs are still doing so?

Look man, I don’t work for OpenAI, or Microsoft, or Google, or any other company that is developing their own AI. I’m not evangelizing. If you don’t want to use it, then don’t. But it’s going to affect everyone, regardless of what they think about it. If you want a leg up in the changing world, then start learning about it. Or don’t. I’m not your dad.

It doesn’t need to be right to make money, often more money than companies get by paying people to do a job properly.

… Yes, it does in the tech sector. If you’re wrong it doesn’t work.

I’ve tried the tools out. You go from writing code for an hour and debugging for half an hour to writing code for 15 minutes and debugging for three hours.

Half the time you’ve ripped out literally every bit of code the AI wrote by the time you’re done making it work.

Get better at the prompts you use. My entire team uses it daily, and it has made us probably 600% more effective. Learning to prompt AI is a valuable skill right now.
