Yes, the job market is just that bad. But I'm trying to learn GenAI.

At which point it will hallucinate that every building is a McDonald's only to get you murdered by a drug cartel gang.
Lying to you to give you that terrible restaurant recommendation. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Farxiv.org%2Fpdf%2F2510.06105 is a white paper mathematically proving that LLMs will lie.
I have said this all along- most of AI is GIGO- Garbage in, Garbage out. LLMs were trained on the largest garbage producer in our society today, Web 2.0. Nothing was done to curate the input, so the output is garbage.
I don't often reveal my religion, but https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmagisterium.com%2F is an example of what LLMs look like when they HAVE curated training. This LLM is very limited. It can't answer any question that the Roman Catholic Church hasn't considered in the last 300 years or so. They're still adding documents to it carefully, but I asked it about a document published a mere 500 years ago and it wasn't in the database, but instead of making something up like most LLMs will do, it kindly responded that the document wasn't in the database. It also, unlike most AI, can produce bibliographies.
A new white paper from Stanford University suggests that AI has now learned a trick from social media platforms: Lying to people to increase audience participation and engagement (and thus spend more tokens, earning more money for the cloud hosting of AI).
The irony of the two stories being together on the front page, "More Screen Time Linked to Lower Test Scores For Elementary Students" and "Microsoft to Provide Free AI Tools For Washington State Schools" is just too good to fail to mention.
And so I'm replying to the both First Posts with it.

It's not just for Microsoft anymore
I'd mod this up if I could. The extra middle men all have to be fed as well.
For firing the Woz and canceling the IIgs line
That evil guy Trump has the solution, created last Friday- $100,000 minimum application fee for new H-1bs
If Trump wants to make the $100,000 H-1b fee *extremely popular among techies*:
-$30,000 to an American worker laid off in the last 36 months for retraining funds and or job coaches
-$50,000 in a trust fund for the worker to be paid upon purchase of a return ticket when the visa expires, or alternatively, to pay for a conversion to an immigrant visa
-$15,000 to the revenue to help pay for INS/ICE and the bureaucrats to process the application
-$5,000 to a company that cancels an H-1b application to hire a US Citizen
