How long do you think? I give it 3 years

5•hmokiguess•1h ago
Who’s ready here? I feel like in 3 years time we are being forced out into retirement.

I already replaced the junior devs I work with entirely, soon I’ll be replaced.

A few years back actually, before AI as we know it, there were lots of quants in finance making millions who now are algo bots that cost in the hundreds of thousands but still lot less than millions in commission (plus no sick day, etc, etc).

You get the point, I’m not asking “if” I’m asking “when”. What’s your take on the question? I give it 3 years.

Companies cut ~600K tech jobs since covid purely on AI hype. Now there is actually (some) utility. The bubble will burst at some point (they always do). I think companies cut to the bone at that point. No one knows when the top is but when it turns I don't think many of the cushy knowledge worker (white collar) jobs come back. It was a good run. 1975 - 202X?

This seems like a baffling comment. If AI is good enough to replace the vast majority of knowledge workers, why would the AI bubble burst? (Or, more accurately, why would you describe it as a bubble?)
