Why College Grads Hate AI

I saw a fascinating clip on Twitter/X recently.

The material conditions driving this response are neither speculation nor sentiment. Housing affordability has collapsed to levels requiring families to be in the top 10 percent of earners to afford children. Rent and food costs have become competing expenses. Meanwhile, the labor market they were told to believe in has been systematically rebuilt through what Caulfield's own industry calls "importing hundreds of thousands of foreign workers, mostly from India, to fill tech jobs"—workers documented as accepting 60 to 80-hour weeks at depressed wages. This isn't a skill gap.

This is wage suppression through deliberate labor market engineering. And now arrives the final blow: AI agents. Autonomous systems that "plan, complete, test, and deliver complex tasks." Coding is currently the primary vector, but the architecture scales to every white-collar profession this generation was told to pursue. The tech industry's own leadership, including billionaire Ken Griffin, founder of Citadel, has already begun publicly discussing AI-driven workforce replacement. These aren't peripheral voices. Griffin is among the most influential figures in American finance and technology policy.

What Else We Know

His public statements about AI integration carry weight in corporate boardrooms and regulatory agencies. What separates this moment from previous technological disruptions is the compression of timeline and the absence of any institutional countermeasure. The Industrial Revolution unfolded over generations. AI-driven displacement is happening in real-time, with the policy apparatus that should protect workers already captured by the industries driving replacement. The Federal Trade Commission, tasked with protecting workers and competition, has issued no meaningful enforcement actions against the coordinated import of cheap tech labor paired with AI development. The Department of Labor has issued no comprehensive warnings.
