  It’s Zuck’s company.

  I teach Software Engineering, working mostly with first-year students but also coaching the senior capstone project. This year was the first time that not all of my seniors had a job before they graduated. One got hired just two weeks ago. Unsurprisingly, incoming numbers are way down. It’s likely that at least some of those were attracted to the money aspect, but it’s still a disturbing trend after years of steady growth in numbers.

  Honestly, the reporting in the NYT already feels like it’s written by AI, AI that was trained on bland, non-confrontational writing. In any case, this is tantamount to training your replacement. How long will they keep human reporters on the payroll once AI is doing the work?
