Here’s the hard truth: if you’ve applied to so many jobs and no employer wants to hire you then you don’t have skills or work experience to be hired.
Doesn’t matter if you studied at MIT.
You can make up a bunch of excuses about how the market is bad or AI will replace humans but it’s fake excuse you come up with to protect yourself from having to do the hard decision: Get a job in anything.
You need to develop your skills and work ethic. Work. In anything that you can get.
If you have to be a janitor, or a barista at Starbucks, or volunteer, or whatever, force yourself to do that. Make minimum wage. It will teach you true hardship. There’s people who don’t have the privilege and opportunity to study at the literal best engineering university in the world and still become extremely successful, and you will get a different perspective on life.
You’re obviously very bright and privileged since you studied at MIT, but for whatever reason you’re lacking skills to secure a job offer, so the best decision you can do is just get any job to learn those skills you lack. Probably soft skills or self confidence.
Shower, put on some nice clothes, and go around your neighborhood retail stores, restaurants, anywhere and ask if they’re hiring. You’ll get a job. Do that and it will light a fire inside of you.
Meanwhile continue networking and improving your skills. Take some classes. Do side projects. Continue applying to jobs.
The job market is 90% who you know, 10% what you can do.
Roughly 5% of energy in the US is dedicated towards AI datacenters. The current usage will double to 70–90 TWh/year by 2026-2027. For software heavy tech businesses it makes sense to host your own AI data center so that you could train it on your codebase and have developers build faster. Not sure if this benefits humanity that much..
Will it? Google originally started trying to sell search servers you'd install on site. And on prem (even on your cloud) is not a model any of the big boys will want to follow.
We're yet to see if it's going to be a winner takes all market or whether there will end up a Linux equivalent pop up that destroys all the investment from the big players because programmers are too tight to pay for software.
what do most people care? Sure some are scared of Alexa listening into your life, but look at all the smart TVs that people invite in, agreeing in the billion word EULA that its ok to listen to things we say to target us with whatever ads. I'm 99% sure my Samsung TV has been listening to me where I'll get some pretty creepy, and by creepy I mean precise, targeting ads to something I never even searched on my devices, but spoke in a conversation about in my kitchen.
