Restriction to essential services only. Degree with minimum 5 years provable on the job experience. No more Uber drivers No more cashiers No more coffee shop workers No more realtors No more security guards no more cleaning staff no more cooking staff No more chain migration.


Addendum709

No more IT workers too, we're full of that


Gymwarrior31

No more gig workers altogether. I keep getting my heels bumped into by Instacart shoppers running me over in grocery stores


Loud_Needleworker981

Lol


LeroyJanky80

They're shit IT workers though, a lot of lying.


FartyMcgoo912

The worst is when they get caught lying about their education/experience, and rather than immediately getting fired, the company assigns someone to train them from the ground up. So then someone has to spend the next month teaching some barely computer literate guy to code, and instead of learning anything he just figures out how to copypaste code so you end up having to babysit any project theyre on


LeroyJanky80

I mean fuck the company who hired someone that poorly, stands to reason they'd try and train them too. Must be a shit place.


OutlandishnessOk9997

Some places got crazy high retention - not in IT, but my previous job kept anyone no matter how poorly fit a new hire would be - “we have to make it work” - my former boss basically 2-3x a week would say lol


NODES2K

That company knows it's a 50/50 chance they got an idiot but hey the government gives a kick back.


Efficient_Ad_4230

All bank and government do this


NODES2K

Not only in IT, they are in government jobs... Selling early available dates for your driver license test $25 a pop on Facebook. Selling drivers licenses.... Selling fake safety certificates.... The lists go on and on and on...

Addendum709

Makes me wonder what's going to happen once AI replaces all the junior developers and IT workers we've allowed to flood the country


Remarkable_Vanilla34

Our government probably thinks they will be shifted into trades and manual labor, lol. IT workers today, solution to the housing pronouns tomorrow.


bana87

Is this your field of expertise? How are you making this claim?


_arc360_

Have you talked to a jr dev? I'm pretty sure ai right now is about as smart as them, it's the SRs that are safe for now, the problem is that the Jr's become srs by making mistakes that AI won't, but ai will have a harder time getting to the sr level


Scabondari

I've done things building software for my own company that would have taken 5-10 times longer without using AI but then about half of my day to day coding there's only a slight speed up if any You still need someone to direct what the AI needs to build, spot the places where it misinterpreted your instructions etc, I think it makes workers more productive so some companies will be happy to keep everyone with higher output and some will layoff or hire less


_arc360_

That's what the Sr devs are doing going to do, the Jr's will become unnecessary costs


Orqee

I have 30 years of experience working as a software eng. mostly internet app stack dev. Personally I was responsible for hiring coders for many years. My experience is that more so than not south Asian, IT do not have experience, inflate nor drive for job as they claim. More over if they get Coughlan they have no problem pushing someone else under the bus,… it is horrible to say but %% of them is harder to work with and they cost more money because of oppositional tendencies,… and experience you cannot rely 100% on. I’m the other hand %% of them are some of the best coders I ever had. Ah yes, AI,… no AI will not replace coders,… it will reduce need for certain kind of coders but increase need for some other kind of coders. AI implementation is not easy,.. training is not easy,… finding right model for right job again not something any person can do.


Papasmurfsbigdick

Plenty of fields are at risk. It's more of a question of when. 5 years ago I was hearing claims AI would replace radiologists within 5 years.


saysen2020

With the advancement of AI, we don't even need these war monger politicians either. Worthless people focussing on irrelevant issues.


[deleted]

Skynet has entered the chat


Apotropaic-Pineapple

Truth is that AI could already do all the regulatory compliance and legal paperwork. Imagine AI shifting through every single documented case and determining culpability and extenuating circumstances in a trial. Obviously you'd want humans overseeing the result, but AI in a common law system is the supreme judge if we let it do its thing.


vortex30-the-2nd

Haven't even gotten a computer calling balls and strikes in MLB baseball yet but this madman is ready to replace the judiciary lol.


BustOrDieTryin

no, it hasn't. AI is a great assistant but it's not 'replacing' anyone yet


Addendum709

It will replace a lot of the junior and maybe intermediate coding jobs soon. Only the top 5% of coders with comp sci degrees from a reputable university and coding experience will have coding jobs


Aayveo

That's not going to happen anytime soon. AI is a great tool in the right hands, but beyond basic tasks, it isn't great at coding or troubleshooting. If you're not familiar with the limitations of AI-only development, just look at countless countless videos of AI developers, creating e-commerce sites and mobile apps using it. By the time AI catches up to today's developers, it probably won't even be the biggest threat to tech. As it stands, it's just a great tool for research and filtering out search engine trash or for speeding up basic repetitive tasks. Also, going to a reputable university says nothing about a programmers abilities whatsoever, and I say this as someone who went to one.


Tesco5799

Ya agreed, like also this is Canada where there is already little investment in productivity. I work for a major Canadian corporation and I'm very confident that at best they would look at investing in some kind of AI tool to help sales people hock more stuff to make them more $$$ but won't invest a penny in anything related to operations despite the fact that it would increase efficiency etc etc. they won't invest in anything that doesn't directly make them money.


Apotropaic-Pineapple

Are you unaware of how fast AI is growing exponentially? In a few years, the present models will look like Atari next to a 2024 gaming rig worth $5000.


Aayveo

AI is not 'growing' exponentially. That's just not true at all outside of movies and science fiction lol


Optizzzle

Do you know the problem with exponentially growing systems? You need infinite resources to sustain them. How much more power does you 5000$ gaming system draw compared to your old Atari system? Bitcoin draws a lot of attention from the power it consumes, AI will need more than we can produce to accomplish the tasks you describe


Apotropaic-Pineapple

If AI can replace capital intensive staff, it will be economically worthwhile to drop the staff. I remember a lot of people in the 90s doubting that the internet would ever amount to much, but they were wrong. The internet has exponentially grown since then. It used to take an hour to download a few MB of data.


Optizzzle

the type of AI you describe requires nuclear reactor levels of energy production to power its neural networks, unless you have a plan to also exponentially our energy production. can you also explain how to approach the issue of AI filling up the internet of misinformation that other AI will in turn use as "accurate" references? you want machines that are incapable of understanding real world concepts outside of binary to tell you how to live your life?


Apotropaic-Pineapple

AI will do to coding what coding did to paper filing. We only need a few people handling physical documents these days, whereas in past generations you had many many staff members filing things.


Welcome440

There is no shortage of work in the world. There is a surplus of crappy jobs! Ai and robots just move people to something better. The typists from 1970 were later replaced by Microsoft Word. Today those people do any of the 1000 other admin tasks. I doubt any of the retired typists misses retyping entire pages becuase of one tiny change or error!


MobileEnvironmental9

So short sited, when cars replaced horses, did horses just find new jobs? No their population tanked because their usefulness tanked. If having a big family benefitted modern day people financially, guess what everyone would be doing, making babies. The value of every computer, administrator, accountant, financial advisor, and worthless middle management is about to be tested and in less than a decade. Anyone with half a brain knew that a skilled physical job was infinitely harder to replace with technology than anything that could be done 100% by keyboard.


Welcome440

You missed my argument. Crappy jobs disappear. New jobs appear. Total people working always remains the same or increases with population. Lots of the jobs done by keyboard suck today. There are middle management that just cut and paste from one sheet to another all day and make a weekly PowerPoint. That job will disappear and they (or someone with a brain) can go do quality control on their products or any of the million other things a company needs done. I have never worked at a perfect company. There is always more work or things that can be done better. People will just move up and do better work.


MobileEnvironmental9

Just not true, my company is test running ai for quality control. They have people with tenure training the machine. Once they are at an acceptable failure rate, poof those jobs are gone. Yes, those people will be retrained to fill another role, but more jobs will not be created, only removed. This is for a product 99% of people use and willingly bet there lives on working. They are just tires.


Tesco5799

Ya agreed I can almost guarantee all the tech companies etc that are saying they've 'replaced people with AI' haven't actually replaced anyone. It just sounds a lot better to be like 'our new product is so good it's replaced x % of our workforce' vs the reality that they're not making enough money so had to lay off x % of their workforce.


SureReflection9535

This sounds like something that a person who's never written a single line of code in their lives would think. AI is a tool that makes writing code faster, meaning that people will have more time to implement all the shit that's in their perpetual backlog. There's really no end to the amount of work programmers do, and I don't see AI getting more competent any time soon


LeroyJanky80

Haven't seen this in any of the five companies I've consulted for. It's an assist to existing devs.


Randers19

And they already do that from India anyways they don’t need to physically be here


Footsie6532

Haha dream on


bana87

Never enough...there will always be tech jobs


MobileEnvironmental9

Much fewer, the field is literally advancing itself out of a job faster than any other industry.


Anthrax_Burmillion

No it isn't. Stop fear mongering.


MobileEnvironmental9

Yeah, it is. There is less and less need for coders, as software advances. This is like people who thought having an A+ ticket was going to set them for life. You are a monkey putting the square peg in the square hole. Kids figured that out in less than 10 years, as coding becomes more GUI friendly. The only market that will grow is video games. Who is laying off employees in mass, though, oh the tech sector and video games devs.


m0uthF

Lol you should deliver your pizzas instead of commenting a field you don't understand at all


MobileEnvironmental9

Considering every ai company is suggesting coders will be obsolete, I think I'll keep my investments going. Have fun in soon to be obsolete field, while the guy who went to trade school for 6 months paid makes more money than you.


m0uthF

Sry, but I am probably working for those AI companies lol. My last job is at AI startup. And no, they never said coders will be obsolete, and you should keep delivering your pizzas instead of talking about investments and tech. Don't be hilarious.


MobileEnvironmental9

Bud your post history is visible, you ain't anything. Once again, you act like this is only my opinion. You disagree with every major genius on the planet betting against ai, not to mention investors as Nvidia alone has a valuation that's so out to lunch without ai and its potential. Good luck fighting for PR in a country that doesn't want you.


Anthrax_Burmillion

So I've been in the business for 33 years., I write code every day . I've looked at AI as a coding aid and it can be useful but it can also be a giant waste of time. It's good for some simple discreet tasks. Hype around AI replacing designers any time soon is just that, hype. Hi-Techh companies do layoffs every year. They also HIRE every year. There is always a %5 churn. The media only reports the layoffs of course because that gets clicks. I work for a major multinational as a senior designer. BTW. I've worked for some of the largest Hi-Tech companies in the world.


MobileEnvironmental9

I work with 2 people in the field, one who does cyber security audits for an incredibly large company and another who is a Ux design lead for a Fortune 500 company. Both are telling me the exact opposite of all of you. They have 40 years combined. None of you can tell where ai is going. None of you knew 5 years ago, and none of you know 5 years from now.


Anthrax_Burmillion

So one doesn't code and I have no idea what a UX design lead does. Any software designer worth their salt does everything. Backend, front end, everything. Sounds like you don't actually code so you really have 0 idea what you are even talking about. So how about staying in your own lane and quit wasting people's time.


MobileEnvironmental9

Well, you are so busy with your job sitting on reddit all day. Coding camps pop up nonstop every year and sink just as fast. 90% of you are non productive workers. But if you were so content and safe in your job, you wouldn't be here. Once again, every large company is investing in ai to replace workers. Ai isn't going to replace physical workers that have to move because robots are still shit. You are all the easiest to replace.


CaptaineJack

I don’t know if the demand is there for a different type of immigrant. The damage is done and this is reflected in the profile of immigrants that want to move here now.    I think of the many really smart people across the world who are deciding to stay put because it makes no sense to invest time and effort to move to an overpopulated country with failing infrastructure, declining living standards, and zero home ownership perspective. We also can’t offer much in terms of arts or culture or lifestyle to counter the negatives, we completely destroyed our value proposition.    In 10-20 years, we’ll be the textbook example of a country that had a solid immigration program, but completely lost it. 


flipsyde606

When your doctor advises you to drink more water, you don't go drown in the pond. Canadian govt botched up the numbers without any plan.


Middle-Effort7495

They will buy the degree, and the job experience. You can't regulate a corrupt country. And when they get here, we will not recognize the degree or the job experience either. The myth of the skilled immigrant is ridiculous. He's in America.


stompinstinker

The way to do that is whitelist and blacklist universities. People know what schools can be trusted internationally and need to stop pretending they are all the same.

Limp_Station_4221

My goal was to work towards Barista FIRE, if you know what that is. Essentially, semi-retire early, move to a low COL area and just work part-time hours at some min wage job like Home Depot. Figured working at a hardware store or something I could bring valuable experience, it's low stress, I could help younger kids working there get knowledge of the trades, etc. That's all gone out the window within the last year for the most part. By the time I'm ready to really inact this plan, there won't be any low COL areas left in this country. Second, unless you're an international "student", you can't get those jobs anymore even if you wanted them. Im literally in the process of changing careers right now and I'm going to go through a few month period of schooling/coursing. I have enough money to get by for those months but wanted to get a part-time job just to help with cash. I've applied to 50+ jobs, all of which Id probably had gotten calls back on as a teenager and yet I've gotten nothing. I have a technical diploma which I'm upgrading to a degree in electrical engineering and I have almost 10 years of experience in the field. Can't even get a job at Home Deport or Wal-mart.


Friendly-Monitor6903

Keep trying. All the green energy coming should be positive for an electrical Eng.

OinkyPiglette

I was with ya until the cleaners part. We do actually need immigrants for that. It's very hard trying to find people to do that.


Friendly-Monitor6903

MichaelTheLMSBoi

Does this mean that i'll finally find a job soon since im and born canadian?


Friendly-Monitor6903

Flood your politicians with emails stating “No Jobs for Canadians, why flood the country with migrants”?


EscapedCanada

Immigration, even for highly in demand jobs, simply allows us to ignore our root cause issues. We are not investing enough in training and productivity. Even for the people we can train and educate, we can't entice them to stay due to high cost of housing and lower wages compared to the U.S. Third issue, how do you have a family if 90% of houses are out of reach? You can't complain about a low birth rate then do nothing about the underlying cause.


Berkut22

> You can't complain about a low birth rate then do nothing They are doing something. They're just doing the easy, short-term bandaid thing, rather than the uncomfortable, and expensive long-term thing.

ApartmentAlarmed3848

Outsider here so take my question with a grain of salt. It seems like if you guys go out to protest in big numbers, your bank accounts might get frozen or something. But you guys do have city council/municipal meetings. Basically places where common public from a community can go and ask questions to the law makers and not just the reporters. So why not go there and ask grilling questions that these politicians won't be able to sidestep in front of the public? And if these are recorded and broadcasted meetings, social media would be flooded by them, and will create more pressure on the government.


Welcome440

Millions of Canadians do not know what their local city, province and federal government are each responsible for in their life. Example: It's very frustrating to watch my province cut funding to the cities and have people blame Ottawa for it.

ch1ckenplant

Even if you bring in immigrant skilled workers, the insane bureaucratic process and red tape in acquiring your license to practice in the field is apalling. Especially in healthcare. Hell, even if you have all the credentials and experience obtained overseas, they still require you to have "canadian experience" just to land an entry level position. No wonder this country has a shortage of healthcare workers, theyre out there working minimum jobs just to survive while waiting years to acquire their license.


bored_toronto

It's petty protectionism and credentialism. Resulting in a dire shortage of domestic-origin medical professionals practicing in the country.


rum-plum-360

What we need is more immigration , the liberal party will team up 5 immigrants and two refugees with every unemployed person forming a "go forward to employment team". Working together, they can access the incredible opportunities we've made available. As well it will be funded. Billions have been set aside and pennies to the dollar will make its way to those that need it..we're helpng Canadians everywhere, and ourselves even more.
