    It feels sort of clear that any word or timeframe you use can be true if you have really flexible definitions of words like “automated”

      Mass AI job displacement is real. The cost of code per engineer is going to go up, even as engineers write 5-10x the code, because AI tools are expensive. The solution is to reduce engineering, and we are seeing that across the board.

      Similar things are going to happen in accounting, HR, sales, and other areas. Everyone who is still employed will be more productive, but they will cost more to employ.
