This is what happens when you put a guy that fixed bread prices in charge of transportation.

    AI is going to absolutely decimate tech, and quickly, too. This is just the beginning of the mass layoffs, in fact I'd wager that the whole looming recession has been contrived to give big tech companies cover to eliminate positions that will be replaced by AI.

      I think it's more the rising interest rates and QT destroying tech valuations

      I don't really see AI destroying a lot of tech jobs that near in the future, what do you believe it can do?

      AI won't disrupt programming anytime soon. Computer nerds are regtettably necessary and the big brain stuff they do is painfully fiddly and brittle: an AI that is 99% correct will build 100% broken software and won't be able to fix or adapt to problems as they arise. At least, for now.

      Programmers will get fired because cheap credit is going away and you cannot employ half your workforce on ridiculous bazinga moonshots without risking profitability.
