The people reading up on machine learning are the ones who want to exploit it for personal gain which leads to them absorbing the perspective of capitalists. People don’t go into CS for their love of lambda calculus, they go into it because the West’s austerity neoliberal hell has destroyed all other career paths. The US has made this explicit with DOGE but this is the pattern in all western countries and in the global south.
The CS track at my uni is far, far easier and less demanding than most other majors including ones like psychology. My humanities professors (I’m doing a double major) complain that the CS program is so railroaded that students are being exposed to the liberal arts less and less each year. Like, the resume course I mentioned counts for your core communication requirement for every student when in the past that was reserved for a mandatory foreign language track that all students had to take. They made this change and then lied to all the liberal arts departments that it wouldn’t affect them when the reality is that far less students are choosing the humanities and thus the admin sees this as a justification to defund the liberal arts school even further.
Capitalists do not want smart, dedicated and innovative computer scientists they want the next prole they can overwork so they can build their new scam to destroy more of the real economy. Most “computer scientists” are like western economists who cheerlead for capital.

Person with a CS undergrad degree and about to graduate with a CS masters degree. Can confirm comp sci courses, even at the graduate level, are easy as shit and take minimal skill to do well in.
