This will put a damper on colleges and universities.
The liberal bastions of free money won't understand it.
They can't fathom their "product" being obsoleted.
Read this and weep. Coming at you faster than the speed of life.
Kid graduated with a 3.9 GPA in CS and $167k in debt three weeks ago
Been rejected from 623 entry-level positions Not ghosted. Actively rejected. With feedback.
"Position filled by AI automation."
"Role eliminated during digital transformation."
"Headcount frozen pending workflow optimization." His algorithms professor said he was top 5% of his cohort His data structures final project got him a recommendation letter from the department head None of it matters because every company posting "entry-level software engineer" actually wants someone with 4+ years of AI prompt engineering experience
The brutal part: he keeps getting auto-rejected by ATS systems built by the same companies that won't hire him
His parents refinanced their house for his senior year tuition
Last week he started learning how to drive for Uber
The American dream just got automated out of existence and nobody in Congress gives a shit about $167k in debt that can't be discharged in bankruptcy
His Stanford CS degree is now worth less than a CDL license
