Comment on The AI-powered collapse of the American tech workfoce

I have yet to see any evidence that AI is displacing tech workers. The articles which claim this always correlate the release of AI to layoffs in the tech market without looking Amy deeper. The more likely culprits I’ve heard are overhiring during the pandemic and less deficit spending due to high interest rates. AI is straight up not capable of replacing a software engineer yet

It’s probably both: companies need to save money, so they lay off workforce. They can lay off even more due to increased efficiency from AI.
