@Moshaikh This isn't remotely true. I'm on campus often and hear that Berkeley EECS grads are still massively sought after. Especially at AI companies

90% —> 10% placement for comp engineering … at Berkley
Tech Layoff Tracker@TechLayoffLover

Berkeley CS grad with $174k in debt just had her third offer rescinded 48 hours before start date First one was "headcount freeze due to market conditions" in March Second was "role eliminated during restructuring" in July Third was "converting to AI-augmented position requiring 2+ years experience" last week Her entire graduating class of 312 CS majors? 18 have jobs. Actual jobs. The rest are fighting over unpaid internships or applying to McDonald's management programs Talked to her advisor yesterday - department placement rate dropped from 94% in 2022 to 11% this year Professors still teaching algorithms and data structures like companies aren't just buying AI APIs and calling three offshore contractors One kid spent his entire senior year building a recommendation engine for his capstone Found out his "dream company" replaced their entire ML team with two Anthropic API calls and a contractor in Hyderabad who makes $18k annually Career center stopped posting CS job openings in September Now they just send weekly emails about "alternative career paths" and coding bootcamps for people with CS degrees The kids who got offers? All had family connections or took 60% pay cuts to work at startups that'll be dead by Q3 Everyone else is watching their $200k investment in computer science education become as useful as a journalism degree in 2010

I love how the problem (eliminating the Great Pacific Garbage Patch) led them to go upstream to river outflows and stop the plastic from ever hitting the ocean. That's how you get it done ✅ solutions are just your best guess with current context.

.@TheOceanCleanup is now intercepting 2 to 5% of global plastic pollution. I think we should be able to double again this year.

@JackieFielder_ That's not the only solution. Better outcomes don't come from fixing one problem if you're making 10 more.

If you’re a California elected and you don’t support the billionaire tax, you can’t claim to care about affordability or working people. In a state with unfathomable wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, wealth inequality is a policy choice.

I worry when TGEs are scheduled months away. The longer the gap between announcement and go-live, the more the sentiment can shift on you. Best of luck out there.

In the topsy-turvy world of CA Density Bonus Law: - San Francisco almost certainly must approve this 25-story project on a site zoned for 4 stories - The city's new ordinance deregulating density in "well-resourced areas" will operate as de-facto downzoning of such sites 🧵

This will be the most impactful philanthropic gifts ever. I hope many more follow suit and give the next generation the benefit of compound interest.

$6.25 billion. 25 million children. $250 each. Susan and I believe the smartest investment we can make is in children. That’s why we’re so excited to contribute $6.25 billion from our charitable funds to help 25 million children start building a strong financial foundation through Invest America. 💪📈🇺🇸 onedell.com/investamerica/
