I wish more people would understand that LLMs are "taking" extremely few jobs away. The "chatbots can do a real job" narrative is just there to bump up the stock prices.

A real AI would incur massive job loss, but the job losses we're seeing now being blamed on AI are really just the same normal oligarchal greed at work.

    Right now the ai companies are highly substadising their products. They announced recently that it actually costs them more than it does to pay a human engineer to write the same code.

    That means it's just a trap. They are trying to get companies to go all in so they will be dependent on them when the engineers are gone and they will raise the price significantly.

    Which is frankly bizarre. You can definitely run an AI to assist with coding locally for a lot less than hiring a coder for even a month. So if they can't accomplish that without blowing the budget then there is no hope for them.
