What should the next generation of techies be studying? Cory Doctorow, the author of #Enshittification, didn't mention computer science during a fireside chat that focused on the coming #AI #bubble. “If you don’t know what you want to do at university, don’t go to university. Go to college and become an electrician,” he said. https://www.geekwire.com/2025/ai-bubble-enshittification/ #Tech

How will the companies that have invested billions of dollars in the infrastructure for AI fare when the enshittification hits the fan?

@alanboyle Unfortunately, that advice sounds like he's losing touch and shouldn't be invited to the next panel. Training in coding, algorithms, networks and security are part of a Computer Science education but not in electrician training. There is better advice for how to avoid the AI bubble.
