The entire premise which he summarizes as:

> A huge reason VCs and tech tycoons put billions into funding LLMs was so they could undermine coders and depress wages

is just pure speculation, totally unsupported, and almost certainly untrue, and makes very little sense given the way LLMs and ChatGPT in particular came about. Every time I read something from Anil Dash it seems like it's this absolutely braindead sort of "analysis".

Why do you say it's almost certainly untrue? Capital is well known for trying to suppress wages.

The amounts spent there have no practical chance of return in a reasonable timeframe. There's not that many devs that would be actually eliminated.
