'In May, SaaStr had just one AI agent in production that it used for various digital tasks, Lemkin said. That month, though, during the SaaStr Annual — its yearly gathering of over 10,000 founders, executives, and VCs — two of its high-paid sales representatives abruptly quit.
Lemkin's calculus was that it just wasn't worth the cost of hiring another junior sales representative for a $150,000 a year position who would eventually quit, when he could use a loyal AI agent instead.'
Already had one AI agent in place. I'm gonna guess that the 2 sales reps quit because they saw the writing on the wall. Or they were being threatened with replacement. This is happening to sales, support, and engineering staff in companies worldwide. The fact that this smiling ghoul needs to spin this as him being left in the lurch, and AI agents solving a problem, shows he knows he's in the wrong.
Hopefully these agents fail dramtically and he loses his own job and reputation.
