    US firms like Netflix, Amazon offer AI jobs that pay up to $900K[^] 300K-900K per year including base salary and bonus, for AI devs. That is a lot of money....I mean, a lot of money for a developer. Edit: I did not read the entire article, but I would not be surprised if both companies are looking to use AI in or create with for new content.

        I imagine these are the people that are supposed to create their new "AI divisions". Technical officers. Now they need to produce "something". Analyzing (again) what people watch and buy and making (more) recommendations?

          Would not be surprised to see a use case of 'eliminating jobs.'

            It used to take years for someone to miss the point of a "Black Mirror" episode[^], and decide to make it reality[^]. Now it seems an episode explicitly mocking Netflix[^] is going to become reality[^] in just a few months. :doh:

              I already knew companies were paying 300k for AI talent. People that think this is going away are wrong. This is literally the second Internet. Get on board or get left behind - period.

                The highest ones in the articles are all managers. Even up to the Director and Vice President. Actual non-management tech jobs there at the highest are 240k. And those are all single positions. So not a norm/average. In contrast the article also lists a AI position at "$28 per hour" as a consultant. That comes in at 56k a year. I wonder if someone got the ad wrong for that since I would expect more for a general Junior level developers.

                  When salaries in a specific field like this have a spike of this magnitude, I am quite confident that within a few years, Certainly a decade or less, The market will be flooded with buzzword babblers who create code which barely mimics (if it even comes close to aligning with) the actual goals of the company or the boss or any customer or any person who will ever use that code.

                    What c-p said. A lot of us are old salts here. Some of us very old salts ;) We've seen the magic bullets come and go. I have to think hard about this - back in 1986 sort of, I saw a demo of hell, some sort of development platform for application development. It was like Visual Studio. It was impressive the level of productivity boost the tool suggested (I'm wiser now). I expressed this to the tech sales guy and he laughed at me. Then he apologized and explained. All of their experience was that if you bought a tool to roll out projects faster, the customers just wanted more. Since then, I have seen this to be a truism. I think once the panic of not having AI wears off, people will actually sit down and start to look at the real data. Why did our bug counts triple? Why can't we do incremental development (something ALL projects need to think about) any more? Why is the software team so damn stupid etc. So far, I see AI collecting data to do art, deep fakes and the like which will likely lead to legislation. We're already seeing the legal issues pop up. Sorry, you CAN'T use my intellectual property... Me? I have so much side work to do, my biggest problem is deciding if I want to do it. AI won't help me.

                      Or AI Owners asking for legislation that prevent reverse engineering their product... so they get everything available in the net, but noone can touch theirs?

                      So do I, and I am starting to like when the side work is offline and no PC related. And I am not old salt... just middle aged active engineer.

                      M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

                        Not to mention of course that they will then need to hire developers to support the mess that was created.
