    I don’t understand how you think this works.

    If I say, “now we have robots that can build a car from scratch!” the automakers will be salivating. But if my robot actually cannot build a car, then I don’t think it’s going to cause mass layoffs.

    Many of the big software companies are doing mass layoffs. It’s not because AI has taken over the jobs. They always hired extra people as a form of anti-competitiveness. Now they’re doing layoffs to drive salaries down. That sucks and tech workers would be smart to unionize (we won’t). But I don’t see any radical shift in the industry.

      Do you think I am the only one that thinks like this? You don’t think middle and upper management thinks like I do?

      But I don’t see any radical shift in the industry.

      Oh, I’m saving this comment. Dude, go into any CSjobs forum and you tell me that there’s not a shift in the industry. lol

      I’ll say this. I hope you’re right. (but you’re not)
