REPEAT AFTER ME (but really, after Neil Kraus):
Wage stagnation and underemployment are not problems that education can fix. We cannot "upskill" students into well-paying jobs that do. not. exist.
Wage stagnation and underemployment are not problems that education can fix. We cannot "upskill" students into well-paying jobs that do. not. exist.
Do not accept the premise that education is to blame for abysmal jobs outcomes.
“The fantasy economy's framing of economic inequality… focuses exclusively on education…deflects attention away from decades of public policies and changing business practices that have…contributed to stagnating wages”

GenAI seems to be marketed towards folks who would like to or need to upskill but cannot (for whatever reason) while those who use it possibly cannot see how it effectively deskills and/or infantilises them.

I honestly don't know what to upskill to anymore…
Every skill and experience I've built up over the last 14yrs of my life…
And any upskill relevant to my fields I want to get….
Are being threatened by AI.
Even fields tangent to my fields are like this.

The tech industry has automated its own workers out of jobs.
“Everyone is so panicked”: Entry-level tech workers describe the AI-fueled jobpocalypse
Engineering graduates face shrinking opportunities and rising pressure to upskill beyond their curriculum.

Another angle to this. They've defunded the university language programs their diplomatic corps come from or go to to upskill. They can't even build back this expertise in the future even if they want to.
Idiotic self-immolation of our diplomatic capacity. Possible, in part, because of how we constantly glorify our military in 🇺🇸 society on every holiday & every sports event, while we totally ignore our diplomatic corps & have a juvenile collective understanding of what makes 🇺🇸 powerful in the world.
This is another flier that’s gone up at the State Department on this crazy day:

You don’t want STEM-educated Lords of the Universe in the workplace, you want curious people who know how to learn and communicate. If anything, AI might just be an easy way for them to upskill and really surprise you.
now thats an anecdote with a punch, from Gillian Tett

Lol American workers just need to "upskill" from their six and seven figure jobs in finance and professional services to stitching teddy bears together 12 hours a day, 7 days a week, for triple digit annual wages.

For serious, L’Oreal started early with their digital transformation and were designing career pathways for retail employees to upskill into digital marketing analyst, beauty vlogger, etc type roles LONG before other Fortune 500s. The AI stuff is garbage but it’s not as out of left field as it seems
