Why do people keep pretending like LLMs are smarter than people or are soon going to be?
Irrational fear of AI.
No, it's what tech leaders such as Zuckerberg have been stating publicly. It's why they're making predictions of AI taking over jobs.
Simply put American AI engineers are not trying hard enough, And the talent that could be helping them is being discriminated against unfairly because they want things like basic human rights, And the tech companies are doing everything they can to completely control the lives of the people they hire which means that a lot of people with these skills are intentionally saying no to these companies because they don't want to be bound by them.
American AI companies dominate the world in this technology. That tells me the American AI engineers are doing their jobs at the highest level in the world. Stating that American engineers are not "trying hard enough" is pure nonsense.
Right now, American tech companies are laying off workers. That includes companies such as Microsoft laying off engineers who work on everything across the company, including AI. American tech companies are legally required to provide work to Americans first before hiring anyone from outside the country. There's a shortage of work, not a shortage of workers.
So maybe focus on working in AI in your own country instead of trying to find your way into mine.
CS degrees were never all that valuable for software developers. I've done enough hiring to have a strong preference for a high school graduate with a decent GitHub page over a CS graduate with their name on a research paper.
In fact, I'd also hire a physics major over a CS major if they demonstrated basic coding skills.
You like hiring folks at the peak of confidence on the Dunning-Krugar chart. They've learned just enough to become extremely confident in their own skills. In reality, they've only covered a fraction of what a graduate from a CS program has covered over 4 years.
I've worked with multiple people with this background. They can be very good when working in areas they know and have experience. Problem is that their knowledge is limited. They're often painfully ignorant in certain areas where it's obvious they haven't studied. They can be extremely difficult to instruct because they consistently want to reinvent new ways of working. It gets worse when they achieve any level of success on the team and get to the point where they can influence decisions. This becomes especially problematic when approaching topics such as security and authentication where there are known good standards to follow and not following those standards can result in catastrophic failure. I literally had one graduate of a javascript coding academy argue with me that his security proposal should be a new security standard. He literally wouldn't listen to me when I told him that's not how that works and to just implement OAuth 2. He was the front-end lead and wouldn't accept my answer.
