AI adoption linked to 13% decline in jobs for young U.S. workers: study

AI is the popular cover excuse for layoffs.

I can’t think of a single job that modern AI could easily replace.

It doesn't have to replace people on a one-for-one basis to cause job losses. Let's say LLMs make your developers 50% more efficient. Doesn't it stand to reason you can lay off the lowest performing 33% and get the same amount (or more) of work?

Have you ever been at a company where the limiting factor was finding stuff to build? I've never seen one personally. If there's any productivity increase, they'll just build even more stuff.

(And that's if we agree about a 50% increase I'd say 5% is already generous)
