Its not that bad compared to yours, basically I was banking on a job position at my uni and then the department got defunded because they put that money into their new fangled ai institute, so unless I want to work for free theres no more hiring.
They’re squeezing all the grad students for everything they have and they didn’t even have much in the first place. The good news is that everyone already in ai is being treated like they’re chatgpt whisperers or some shit, I guess that counts.
you jest, but i was actually laid off 2 months ago for almost exactly that reason
I’m also partially not jesting (as in I was in the same sort of boat) and I’m so fucking mad, barely containing it.
i’m sorry to hear that, it fucking sucks for sure
