It's kinda cool to see a whole lot of otherwise intelligent people who are so dogmatically and ideologically opposed to anything AI that they're going to willfully dismiss anything that AI produces regardless of utility. It's not great for them, but it's a definite advantage for people who are already in the mindset of distinguishing and discriminating information and sources on merit, instead of running an "AI bad"…

AI being bad isn't in conflict with AI winning or taking over. I think all of those things are true. I think what we currently call social media is bad. And it's won. No conflict there either.

The raw anti Ai hate for anything that even mentions it makes me think of the early days of the internet where it was considered just a fad.

I would say that it is closer to an Internet to which you are not invited to.

Maybe it was linked from a comment somewhere on HN but just today I saw a post saying “Microwaves are the future of all food: if you don’t think so, you better get out of the kitchen”

Microwaves have already won. There will be a microwave in every home over the next few years.

It’s time to start microwave cooking or drown

A surfboard is no use in a tsunami. You will drown. The author will drown. Do not celebrate the tsunami.

Amen. Well said

OP comment is not clever

Interestingly, it seems from these statistics the median wage for individuals with a Master's is lower than a Bachelor's. I wonder if that's because of immigrants who pursue higher education for visa reasons skewing the data.

Anecdotally, many people get a bachelor's degree to check a box for job applications, whereas many people get a master's degree because they love the field and/or are afraid to leave school.

My friends and I who have a bachelor's degree in CS make more money than my friends who have or are working towards master's degrees in CS, because the former are working in the private sector and the latter are in academia making peanuts.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

> You can be an expert in one field, and have no idea what you're doing in another. And for whatever reason a lot of people in startup/tech seem to have a huge Dunning-Kruger effect blind spot where they believe knowing a lot about one thing makes them an expert in everything. This used to just be funny, but when it started to intersect with politics it began to actively contribute to destroying society. It isn't fun…

It is wild that ya'll are hating on a website that visualizes data. That's like table stakes standard common practice for software engineers for decades. This is the equivalence of telling a Designer that can't create infographics on anything but principled design subjects -- or else they're out of line. Any research or data they might use isn't relevant because they're not exerts? lol?

The problem is that the data it's visualizing is fake. The color grading is just an AI guessing how susceptible jobs are.
