For college graduates, LLM tech is an existential threat to their livelihoods by making it so much harder to start a career without connections or pedigree.

If no one is hiring, connections or pedigree need to get extraordinarily elite before you can leverage them to get an entry-level software developer job.

Disliking AI for that reason harms you more than helps you.

    • “I hate computers, so I refuse to use them”

      If AI becomes common place at work (I’d argue it already has), it clearly will hurt you if you boycott it out of fear or anger that the tech exists.

      It’s pretty simple
