The amount of gold on top of those shoes is a damn good indicator of why they need to wear them
Someone crushed their toes a few too many times
Bossman: "You can't wear slippers; you need steel-toed shoes!"
This guy: "I'll meet you halfway: steel-toed slippers."
You should use both titles to make hr think you are better than average AI developer.
yup, that’s fair. Gotta play the game a little. Titles help set the tone before you even talk.
It’s not lying. It’s called, prompt engineering.
Proomt enjeneeering:
"Bro please it's the 15th time, the bug is at line 87, please fix it, bro please."
That's not begging, that’s emotional debugging. Works better than any stack trace.
You just arent getting the vibe man!
Nahh. Still debugging..
it feels like diggin you're own grave using shit to create shit.
That grave is getting built with or without you
I've had the opposite experience...my current title is A.I. Engineer but the A.I. I work with is a black box 3rd party software....I know nothing about actually working w/ A.I. But with my title I keep getting calls for jobs looking for people w/ actual A.I. knowledge....which I don't have.
AI architects, AI managers, H-AI-Rs
I could never sell my soul like that. Lets bring back shame in 2025
Hey, it worked in 1997 when I rebranded myself as a web developer.
I asked ChatGPT once to center a div for me. I guess you can say I’m an AI engineer.
Are AI engineers paid that much ?
If you have a doctorate and are being poached from a research position at OpenAI, but not by just saying you decided to be one now.
Some of them certainly are.
Meta’s shocking $200 million offer to this Apple AI engineer is blowing minds
Well other than big tech like an early stage startup ?
Is anyone paid well in early stage startups?
from big tech to start-up is basically jumping to the other end of the spectrum
And what skills do these people bring to the table other than an AI wrapper ?
I was talking salary mate, what's your problem? 😅
mostly building custom model with math and algebra
Dont tell them the secret smh
Implementing research papers and scaling self hosted infra, creating custom models for data, along with small scale research experiments usually.
Any joe can use chatgpt api, although some stupid companies don't realize this and pay an overqualified person to do it
Buddy of mine was telling me the other day that Google I guess is pushing harder and harder AI.
Then in 2026 you have nothing when crap hits the fan and everything goes haywire. or when they decide that they just need one nepo hire to maintain your job.
from data engineer to AI agent prompt engineer.
Depends on the expectations of the vacancy.
AI developer: Now with 50% more buzzwords and 0% extra skills
hey that's not true, now I know the OpenAI docs… I can PoC that wrapper in a jiffy
The irony of this being a bot comment...
And 100% more -- vibes!!! 🤯
