AI Made Him Even More Employable

I just checked in with this guy. He discovered chatGPT since posting this. He now has 20 remote engineering jobs, $3.8M in total comp. Don’t tell me AI is replacing jobs. I currently have 10 fully remote engineering jobs. The bar is so low, oversight is non-existent, and everyone is so forgiving for under performance I can coast about 4-8 weeks before a given job fires me. Currently on a $1.5M run-rate for comp this year. And the interviewing process is so much faster today, companies are desperate, it takes me 2-3hrs of total effort to land a new job with thousands to chose from.

A screenshot-style meme shows commentary about a Hacker News poster who claims to hold 10 fully remote engineering jobs and earn $1.5 million annually. A follow-up says he discovered ChatGPT and now has 20 jobs with $3.8 million in total compensation. The joke sarcastically suggests that AI is helping an already overemployed engineer get even more jobs, contradicting the fear that AI is replacing workers. It is used as a reaction to arguments about AI eliminating employment or to celebrate AI-assisted productivity.
