## Resource

A Purdue computer science junior stood outside Chicago Union Station with a sign that said "Can AI do this?" The response surprised him, and the conversation that followed surprised Jason. Ethan Dawes joins School's Out Saturdays to talk about why mass-applying for jobs is broken, where CS students should actually look for opportunity in 2026, and what AI in education needs to look like for it to actually work. Key topics covered: How a Purdue CS student went viral by holding a sign in Chicago Why entry-level CS jobs at big tech companies are frozen and where the real opportunity is The case for small and medium businesses hiring CS grads to navigate AI implementation GitHub vs. portfolio websites for non-technical hiring managers AI scaffolding in education and the zone of proximal development Oral exams as a verification tool when AI can write any essay Anthropomorphism and sycophancy in LLMs (and what kids need to learn early) Emergent behaviors in large language models and the Claude blackmail experiment If you don't know how to code, AI helps you. If you do know how to code, AI is a multiplier. That's the line that should be on every CS career services flyer in 2026.
