menhguin · x · 2026-11-05
@menhguin, an AI safety researcher from Southeast Asia with no CS degree, responds to accusations of bias in the AI job-loss debate: he argues US grads with CS degrees who can't find tech jobs face a "skill issue," and notes most tech jobs he applies to are off-limits to him by default — yet commenters blame AI for all their problems. The exchange captures the divide in AI-driven employment anxiety debates.
