The issue people seem to stick to is "AI will never be as good as humans at X" ... even if that was true, or it was going to take 50 years or whatever to do ... what everyone seems to miss.. companies are more than willing to have a AI that does X shittier but without a salary, than to hire a guy that does it amazing and pay him a salary. The math was never is AI better than a Human, its is AI cheaper than a human for a passable product. This can be seen by companies deploying AI to do shit and firing people with some of the shittiest models lol, people were losing jobs already when fuckin GPT 3.5 was out lol.
The other thing is and AI lovers say it and they aren't wrong, the AI we have today is the worst it will ever be again, the big issue with Klarna and the others is they jumped the gun they went from 0 to replace everyone.
The company that deleted a DB was an AI issue, but it was also a company issue... no backups? Really? No sandbox for the AI? Really?
People give companies way too much credit for making smart decisions.
Edit: I imagine a lot of coding jobs will drop and come back and eventually be a lot fewer in 2-3 more versions of claude. I imagine we'll see jobs like Tier 1 call center jobs, and answering services, and stuff like drive through attendants at restaunts go away pretty rapidly in the next 3-4 years
