My job just had mandatory training that was an ad for AI services. Not for any service in particular, just AI services in general.

AI in every house watching and listening to you so you don't hurt yourself. It's for your own safety. Accept it.

And Amazon says it will help train 4 million people in AI skills and “enable AI curricula” for 10,000 educators in the US by 2028, while offering $30 million in AWS credits for organizations using cloud and AI tech in education.
So, at some point, we do have to move on policy, but frankly, I have a really hard time trying to predict what skillset will be particularly relevant to AI in ten years. I have a hard time knowing exactly what the state of AI itself will be in ten years.
Like, sure, in 2025, it's useful to learn the quirks and characteristics of LLMs or diffusion models to do things with them. I could sit down and tell people some of the things that I've run into. But...that knowledge also becomes obsolete very quickly. A lot of the issues and useful knowledge for, working with, say, Stable Diffusion 1.5 are essentially irrelevant as regards Flux. For LLMs, I strongly suspect that there are going to be dramatic changes surrounding reasoning, and retaining context. Like, if you put education time into training people on that, you run the risk that they don't learn stuff that's relevant over the longer haul.
There have been major changes in how all of this works over the past few years, and I think that it is very likely that there will be continuing major changes.

It really doesn't matter what the "training" entails, because Amazon aren't going to do it anyway. Its all lip service, and all voluntary, and all to pull the wool over the regulatory bodies eyes.

I agree, I looked into some AI stuff and it was really complex.
I’ve seen this story before and that complex stuff kind goes away and then it was a waste of time learning it.

Maybe they are trying ro merge the first transhuman generation. Honestly, it does not sound too bad. When everyone is synced together, greed will stop because decpetion will not work any longer. Rather than jail people for crimes, tendencies in each unit will need to be patched/corrected.

Ready for normie dominated world
I already have shitty companies ask questions in their job form about which AI tools I use to write software and how much percentage of my final code is from AI, fuck me like this job didn't suck enough now I have to prompt the fuckin AI multiple times to do something just so that it ticks a metric that upper management can use to justify spending money on AI and firing actual engineers
