I found this thought funny. A few years ago everyone was all learn to code so you don't lose your job! Now there wont be any programming jobs in 10 years. But we will need a lot of manual labor still.

I don't have the insight to say for sure why (though I have some guesses),

In the USA, there's a tax break for research teams expiring this year. Supposedly it made software develoent team salaries fully tax deductable.

In the USA, I suspect this is the real motive for using the AI hype train to justify layoffs.

I'm willing to admit "Most CEOs are stupid" also has merit, of course.
