O'Brien cites a concerning trend where not only tech jobs but also entry-level positions are being impacted by AI and outsourcing, leaving graduates at a disadvantage.
He emphasizes that AI's rise and the outsourcing of programming roles are transforming the job market, with recent graduates facing unprecedented challenges in securing meaningful employment.
Further, the consolidation of companies adds to the competition, where hands-on programming jobs are increasingly being relegated to lower-cost solutions, including AI and overseas labor.
O'Brien advocates for universal basic income as a critical response to the shrinking job market caused by technological advancements, highlighting the need for societal support in these changing times.
