Don't compare Bitcoin and the Meta verse with ai.

Millions of people use LLMs daily.

Veo 3 just came out.

People get fired due to LLMs and GenAI replacing them.

Google uses ai code for years in the background.

Playing around with cursor for a few days is way to naive to be able to determine the current situation with coding and ai

Serious question: Are they? Or are they being fired and AI is used at the excuse?

We saw Klarna layoff customer services staff and that didn't work. LLMs couldn't do their job. Some programmers are being fired, but my feeling is that generative AI is more of a convenient excuse.

Is anyone actually being fired because an LLM did their job better, or where their job already in danger and AI just gave the companies an easy way out?

Yeah, it’s largely this. If a company wants to lay people off, AI magic is a better way to sell that to investors than “we’re not doing enough business to need all these people” or “we’re going to invest less in product development” or whatever. Those are bad things.
