Like currently, in the US; there was an article about it floating around Lemmy a couple days ago. Oversaturated from a decade+ of telling everyone to go into compsci, and now companies are cutting staff
Everyone is trying to replace most support with AI. Why pay a person to be confused about your weird tech problem when the computer can do it for less?
Ah, that’s true. Though the majority of these are much closer to factory jobs (at least harder engineering degrees than CS) I think? Once it’s built you need security, a couple systems engineers, some folks to move circuitry and cables, and custodial staff. There are perhaps a handful of cs grads employed by a data center as I understand it. (Most employees are managing hardware; they lean towards electrical engineering?)
The hardware only needs software designed for it once in order to offer compute as a service, and that design can happen far away from the data center (and, the CEOs believe, possibly by an AI).
Computer science graduates have one of the highest rates of unemployment
Really? I mean I’m not in the US but I never had a problem.

Yeah I imagine, but won’t all of this AI require support? Idk for now we are ok here but the future could be bad.for sure.

I ment supporting the AI itself. Like someone have to manually support the DCs right?
