Another "right place, right time, right résumé" situation: $2 Billion "seed round" valuing an AI start-up at $10 Billion; the founder being former OpenAI CTO Mira Murati. IIRC, Murati briefly replaced Sam Altman as interim CEO at OpenAI when Altman was briefly ousted from OpenAI.

This lets us know how important Zuckerberg thinks it is to be first to market with whatever he is trying to do with AI. I'm sure those people he made those offers to are all bright and talented, but what makes them worth that, is their ability to hit the ground running, towards whatever it is Zuckerberg wants to do. The market will soon be glutted with newly minted AI experts, to whatever extent academia can produce them.

I read somewhere that Comp Sci majors are decreasing in schools and those that graduate are having problems getting hired.

Maybe, I could see that. AI does make me a bit concerned about careers for my kids in 15-20 years. For coding, I know 20 years ago I would build website from scratch, literally a blank page starting with "<html...", and 15 years ago it was using content management systems (CMS), then 10 to 5 years ago it was all about converting to the cloud and SaaS and PaaS where solutions are provided and you just configure them, or write scripts (e.g., Python), or build CICD/DevOps pipelines to automate a bunch of stuff, and just this week I was setting up a new GitHub org for a few code repositories and I "activated" the various AI code writing tools that do 95% of the work for you. It's remarkable.
Indeed, though... "coding" will be obsolete soon enough, mostly. SAD. So far I got lucky as I switched from software development in 2020 over to cybersecurity and so far that has been helped by AI and not threatened by it yet. AI is just another tool (per se) we have in our suite of security tools used to stop t3h hax0rs.

Any job that involves interacting with objects rather than people is on the chopping block. Maybe not in our lifetimes. The jobs that involve talking to people are also going to get hit with substantial splash damage, as most of the talking jobs involve talking about ways to direct and organize humans.

Link to videoI just saw some window washers, their jobs are safe for now.

This isn't really going to succeed until they rename it the "hyperintelligence" group.
Incidentally, I Googled 'AI models'. Holy shit, some of them are really lifelike.

About "50% from China" ... even among those labeled "American," many of them have Chinese-sounding names.
A little surprised that there aren't more Indians (of South-Asian descent).Not sure what "L8+ Level" means, maybe a reference to Meta's pay scale.
