If you’re young and in CS, switch tracks (Blind)

• not fiona (Google): Back in my day, every young man was motivated to do a hard job. 68% of males ages 14-21 were working, but now that number has fallen to just 38%. Today’s young men waste away their physical prime and thus their peak earning years. They want to be a couch/computer potato. They spend ten hours a week chatting with AI instead of learning social skills. Some of them want a vacation so they apply for a visa abroad. It is because of the irresponsible parents who raise such lazy kids.
• Barney S (Airbnb): SWE will reduce significantly and FDE will increase significantly. Salary will still keep up but desirable skill sets will change. Bottom line: if you are autistic, anti-social but not IQ 150 you should pivot
• TzCEen (Klaviyo): As if every other career isn’t fucked. If you work at a desk, Claude is coming for you in the same way that it came for SWE. Eventually there will be some agentic workflow to do every other job and employers will cut as many employees as they can to milk their margins. Sure, you can become a nurse or plumber, but that would suck in its own ways.

Offers from OpenAI Anthropic and Nvidia. Which to choose? (Blind)

• yegv (Google): Vote for anthropic. OpenAI is toxic and full of meta mates
• frotoge (OpenAI): What a crazy coincidence to not only line up offers from all 3 at the same time, but to also be too much of a bozo to make your own decisions. Must be one in a billion!
• staffMLE? (LinkedIn): Fake, TC can’t be equivalent. Nvidia new offers don’t compare with OAI and Anthropic. Why don’t you go ahead and add xAI as well

‘It’s like we don’t exist’: Nearly 50,000 Lake Tahoe residents face power loss as utility redirects lines to data centers (r/technology)

• ShiftyUsmc: Man, this whole data center thing seems like it might not be such a good idea
• Nice-Mixing: So people are going without power so the aristocracy can take all our jobs away, is that right…
• Random_Man-child: My favorite thing is how Republicans claimed our grid could not support electric cars, but data centers perfectly fine.

Software Developers Say AI Is Rotting Their Brains (r/technology)

• NOT_EVEN_THAT_GUY: corporate is rotting my brain
• scraplocator: if only the business and tech bros in every industry could have that kind of self awareness.
• BezosLazyEye: Problem is, if you’re not using AI you’re outperformed by developers who are. So in the eyes of the managers you’re worth less, since they only care about delivering something that works not how it works. This is going to bite us in the ass so badly in the future.

Tech Layoff Wave Has Already Hit 100,000 Jobs This Year (r/technology)

• Harkonnen_Dog: Stop buying their products.
• GimmeNewAccount: So you’re saying now is not the time to quit my stable, but highly stressful, tech job?
• Alan4Bama: I was one of those today
