I left my job in fast food to go to school for tech because it seemed like the thing to do and I wanted to have a good life and be able to afford stuff. So I ruined my life getting a piece of paper only for them to enshittify things to oblivion and destroy the job market to the point it's fast food or retail only again. I suppose getting a masters in something is the logical next step but at a certain point a scam's a scam and I'm not digging a deeper hole.
Fast food and retail are fucked too tbh
Look, if you go back to fast food after getting a B.S. because some disconnected CEO said that programmers aren't going to exist in a couple years, you're not digging a hole, you're jumping head first into it.
There are already automated kiosks selling Pizza here and most fast food places already allow people to order using their phone or self-service kiosks.
Delivery is also quickly getting automated with small delivery robots that can likely be remote controlled if they get stuck.
While LLMs cannot reason they can imitate which can be combined with more traditional A.I like utility A.I that makes decisions based on a scoring system. I am guessing LLMs will just be used to make A.I systems talk and execute actions while the actual "inteligence" will be handled through more traditional methods.
