I have really enjoyed this series so far. This episode in particular has me thinking deeply about my future because I left my career, 20 years as an analytical chemist, to learn data science and coding a few years ago and now it is difficult to find direction or opportunities. Now with this video I learn that my observation, that there doesn't seem to be many people over the age of 40-50 years old, isn't just paranoia on my part, but there is a whole system behind an actual stigma. That's good to know at least. Now I can adjust appropriately. Coming from the chemistry world, there are so many people working into their 70s that I didn't realize that other industries would even consider someone's age as less than an advantage. I never stopped to consider the fact that tech is such a fast-paced industry that wisdom, I mean age, was a liability. Perhaps I should adjust my plan moving forward...or is that even possible with my plasticity deficit?
@alexjensen990 Yes, it is a fundamental trend, ageism in ds (and coding) is definitely a real thing. Knowledge in ds depreciates at crazy speed. On the positive side, if it makes you feel better, many other industries (especially white collars) will see even faster depreciation and entropy. Another good news is that ds is definitely not a dead end. We will cover it in the next vids. While we all wait for them, join us at Discord. One last thing - in your particular case (chemical background) - future in ds may be bright, as it seems like AI will drive massive advancements in organic chemistry (new proteins and materials). It is likely you will have great opportunities to use both your ds and chemistry hands. There will be a synergy for you. You just need to navigate it right and position yourself properly.
I’m from Portugal, a 45-year-old coder. I just wanted to express that I understand your dictation very well, and the way you explain things using simple examples is beneficial for non-native English speakers. That said, where's the part 5?
@emanuelsantos6339 Emanual, estou feliz que você goste dos vídeos e do estilo simplista deles. Como Einstein costumava dizer: "Tudo deve ser o mais simples possível"... Mas ele acrescentou: "Mas não mais simples".
The resonance of the 'Attention is all you need' paradigm is evident. This is a masterful orchestration, leveraging transformer architecture for next-generation, adaptable human resources. The content beautifully encapsulates the KISS principle to navigate towards harnessing human language (the power of natural language processing) as the primary interface for prompting these resources.
@perforatechain178 I will pretend that I understood 100% of it. But yes - things should be as simple as possible. Because if they are not, you probably don't understand them.
@@Scripter_story Absolutely, That's where you are differing and making the BABY STEPS, to explain the evolutionary transition that we are undergoing. Keep going and waiting for the next contents in this series. Thanks for your initiative. Much Appreciated.
Definitely soft skills, but also having the mindset to reinvent oneself and that requires us to pay attention to the trends, such as what you are presenting in your series
I am transitioning to AI from a non-stem background via my MSc degree, and I have watched all four parts of this survival guide. Your insights have been incredibly valuable, coming from an experienced AI expert like you. Part 5+ PLEASE
Thanks thats great content! Part 5!! One tip, many people usually hear your podcast on the way to go and cannot see the pictures you present so its sometimes hard to follow your content if you present a sound (mewing cat, a bit annoying overtime) and people cannot understand for what its referring to.
The Zeitgeist in the AI community is currently that things are slowing right down. Each new LLM is only marginally better - training costs are rising - free data is running out - with dubious prospects for monetization. I think they are deluding themselves - ChatGpt 5 will have 50% better accuracy than now and that alone will be a big change. Then once every few years the 'march of nines' will continue. It took the World roughly 85 years to adopt cars over horses (America was 20 or so years). Heavy AI adoption by business will happen on a 10 year curve.
thank you for sharing! i love your videos and makes sense on what is happening on the IT world. You are complete right about the soft skills and it is a big challenge for old coders like me. Waiting for more videos!
@Mandelbrot567 There is a book on the shelf behind me. It is called Fox Theory. On the cover page there is an object made of three fractals - on top - a Chinese pagoda (which are fractals). In the middle - a 3D Mandelbrot set, and in the bottom - an ant colony (which is a fractal, too.) I am a big fan of fractals.
@mgiorno It's Fox Theory by William Topchiev (me). It is a sci-fi thriller. This was my first book that I wrote about five years ago. These days I am a bit sceptical about it, but there are people around who say they like the book. You can find it on Amazon.
Where the HECK is Part 5 my friend. I want to survive this phase, this tectonic shift in human civilization. I not only want to survive and but thrive on it. Produce Part 5. I am eager and waiting.
@@Scripter_story So all those 200k+ salaries you mention. I must be in the wrong segment, because all the Dev jobs i see are way under that. I have 20+ years experience. Yeah, google, but almost nobody gets those. Just look on the job sites.
Don't agree with the "only hire young people" idea - youth is no guarantee of innovation and not everyone stops learning as they age. I suspect that yes soft skills will be more important than ever, but the extent to which the "black box" appears that removes the need for wider tech skill is a real unknown IMO - do you actually have a background in software engineering or are you a journalist by profession?
@David-no7zi Agree, "only hire young people" is not going to end well, too. A balance is needed. A healthy combination. Because without young people teams tend to do things in "good old ways". But the youngsters should be on a reasonably equal footing. I am a behavioural economist who uses coding to build AI tools.
@@Scripter_story Hmm ok. I'm no superstar developer, but I've been doing the job for 20 years and I've seen enough 'silver bullets' that were nothing of the sort to make me skeptical that a programming black box will work. I'm not going to deny that a software developer 'black box' is possible, but I think by the time it does happen most other 'office' jobs will be automated first. I see ageism in tech where I live in the UK but rather than innovation it's driven by the fact that many companies just want the cheapest engineers they can get. Anyway, I'll be happy to come back and admit I was wrong in 5 years time if a huge chunk of devs are AI-ed out of a job! I do think your predictions are valid but the extent to which they come true is very much on a spectrum, it wont be all or nothing.
@David-no7zi I think, there will be parallel salary reductions and layoffs. There still will be a need for coders, but it no longer will be a bottleneck, hence lower compensations.
@@David-no7zi Surveys show large percentages of coders are using LLMs. Juniors to code above their current level and seniors to do boring things fast. I suspect already 20% increase in productivity with 26 million coders on planet blue that is roughly 4 million coder 'jobs' gone. Then ChatGPT5 comes in December. Then ChatGpt-ProCoder next June. The castle still stands but the enemy is at the gates.
@@Scripter_story Yes, I work in the IT department of a non-tech company, and the clear goal of management is to push down software workers wages to those of basic clerical staff. AI may well help to get a certain amount of software done with cheper bodies. The wages I hear about in America always sounded insane anyway, we are paid a fraction of that in the UK.
@gkisara The initial idea was that the recommendations will be starting from part 6. And before that we explore what happened in the past. Since then, we got comments asking for recommendations. So we decided to start with this two. They are very generic, indeed. But if I were on the receiving side, I would find them useful - we often forget about such simple and obvious things.
@gkisara But I see your point. So much prep and background for a fairly simple conclusions. And a lot of effort making that prep, too)). Probably vids should be shorter and simpler and straight to the point.
@@Scripter_story Nah. Short and too the point should be subtitled 'please ignore this' - if you do a lot a of leadup then the point hits home harder. What you can do is called the promise - I at the start of the video you say I am going to explain to you why soft clay and soft skills will help you survive.
