Sorry man. But you saying that AI is going to take Computer Science jobs point blank was a nail in the coffin for your rapport. You don't have to go far, to see that AI is extremely limited at real world projects. I would even say it is complete trash. Don't be a hype rider, be a real one.

I don’t think you’ve used anything other than OpenAI’s gpt. Claude 3.5 is fucking amazing and there’s a new llm coming out almost every month now recently it’s synthesia 2.0. Im not saying we’re losing our jobs soon but I 100% can see myself having a son and him asking me “why do I need to know x when u can just use (insert LLM)”. Similar to my generation 2000’s where we’ve has Google our entire life meanwhile people in their 30’s use to go to libraries to get a fraction of our access to information. Schools forced you to memorize formulas thinking you will need that and now I can just be familiar with the concept and lookup the formula as needed. I think as a cs student like I am now you are hurting yourself if you don’t start getting use to using these llm and understand them well similar to early internet.

To be honest i just love the process of learning about computers and programming and thats why im doing computer science i can live with a average paying job doing what i love Also i study for free so that's not really a con for me

@christianmorera4127 3 дня назад

Wow ive never been to your videos this early, bro, i love the interview you did with your brother. That motivated me to study and pass one of my summer classes. Will you ever make a video about getting a CS masters and whether or not name or ranking is as useful as their undergrad program.

@bigbao9843 2 дня назад

I mean most students going to CS are influnced by several reasons: family, Internet, salary, perfect work life balance? etc. Ask youself do you really like the theory of computation? Are you good with applied math? CS is not just programming. Not saying you need to like it, but to become a very good computer scientist you really need passion.

@@AlexRodriguez-do9jx bro im eyeballing the trades too, I envy them because they get a job immediately or during the training it's insane. I'm contemplating for masters, my fear is that even with a master's I won't get a job .

I studied CS then switched to math and now do data work. I've worked at big tech companies and while it's generally well paying and good...the reality is most people dont work at these $600k yr jobs. Is it possible to make $600k out of school ..yes but your brother is an anomally. You're more likely to make like $80k-$100k. Most engineers who join big tech companies have like 8 years of experience already.

Why focus on the average person and not the top 5-10% ? Do you plan being average? If not, why should you worry about what the average makes?

I doubt it. They need to unsubscribe from channels that keep pushing people to CS. That’s the reason the field has become EXTREMELY saturated which is driving down salaries because the sheer number of CS people that’s unemployed

@numanunal6699 2 дня назад

I don't understand Why A.I progress is oriented towards replacing hard-working employees. Competent and skilled employees who are going to be laid off due to A.I is going to create a significant increase amount of unemployment which is gonna have negative effect on the economy, perhaps the rise of A.I is going to create more damage to overall economy than any good. If millions of people are laid off, cooperation's will loose customers. Perhaps we're entering an unpredictable and chaotic times.

@saravanabalajik 2 дня назад

Only programmers are affected, a very small percentage of people are programmers. It is a fraction of tertiary sector, there is primary and secondary sector has to collapse to see the so called chaotic times.
