I saw another article today saying how companies are laying off tech workers because AI can do the same job. But no concrete examples… again. I figure they are laying people off so they can pay to chase the AI dream. Just mortgaging tomorrow to pay for today’s stock price increase. Am I wrong?

    20 years? The way they talk it’s gonna happen in 20 weeks. Obviously, they exaggerate, but it does seem we are on the edge of something big.

      Yes, IMO tech is moving towards getting easier.

      I’m not saying it is, but I bet that in a couple of years you can spin up a corporate website-management-platform on a 50€ raspberry instead of having a whole IT department managing emails, webservers and so on.

      Things are getting easier and easier IMO.

      Yeah when I said 20 years I wanted to express something that looks distant, I think that we will see a big change sooner. To be honest the plan B I’m working for, I’m trying to make it happen asap, hopefully next year or in two years, I may be overreacting but personally I’m not going to wait for the drama to really begin to take actions.
