The post doesn't mention AI, it's not about AI and it's not even about implications of applying AI to software development.

AI happens to work in the same direction as the one the author is worried about but none of their theses would be much different without AI.

I think it's pretty clear that it is about AI - author mentions transformation that's been "about three years". What do you think "pulling a damn slot machine lever a couple times to generate the boilerplate" means? What does "coal-fired GPUs to capture society’s output and sell it back to us" refer to?
