The study is bs. While executives are blaming AI, it is nowhere near levels of replacement.

What I bet is happening under the covers is reprioritization of work, offshoring or both.

It’s also just natural cost cutting from businesses that were previously massively over hiring, and outside of AI don’t exactly have a ton of areas with huge growing investment.

Plus slashing jobs like this keeps the plebs in line. They don’t like software engineers having the money and job security to raise a stink over things. They want drones terrified of losing everything.
