Lol except AI is stealing far fewer jobs than people said it would. Because they were liars. Because it’s a bubble that’s collapsing. And technology has always changed, jobs come and go.
Yeah. Layoffs started with svb bankruptcy. They run out of free investor money and now they are extremely pressured to cut expenses. AI is just the lamest excuse for investors
Yea hot take here but if u “lost ur job” to ai it wasn’t much of a job to begin with, it’s used as an excuse to downsize sure but it’s not replacing any real valuable positions.
Get to know your shit. I’ve lost my career due to AI and let me tell you how it went, because I was pretty fucking good at it.
It’s virtually impossible to get a new job. I’m a senior fullstack architect with typescript and I used to be a main developer under large military R&D project that I delivered fully. The company collapsed because politics.
Then, after like 6 months of searching, I landed a new leadership role at a fresh Fuel blockchain startup, once again - I was building a pretty serious perpetual futures trading app. All went well until the company collapsed due to lack of funding, 6 months after I joined.
The market was extremely bad before I got the blockchain project. The market is beyond broken right now. I just know I’m underwater and I’m not getting back up from here even though I’m well aware I’m very much competent.
I may be able to ace at most interviews, but I’m not getting visibility in this absolute shitstorm of other candidates fired because of the AI. And even if I do get an interview, there’s always someone who’s gonna beat my aced interview with an ever more aced interview.
I’m either building my very own company from scratch or I’m buying a tractor.
So I don’t mean to be rude, and I am sorry to hear about your struggles in the job market, but how exactly did you loose ur job to ai? In ur second paragraph you even said it was politics that collapsed the company. In third you said lack of funding. I feel like a lot of this is because the economy is shit as a whole, how exactly has AI taken your job? Any competent senior full stack surely couldn’t be replaced by co pilot? Not that I’m educated on the topic.
I haven’t lost my job, I’ve lost my career. Not being able to continue working due to lack of jobs is staggering, because I have to make a living one way or another.
I’ve also completely lost my trust in this profession, because even if I manage to get back up on my feet, how much time will pass and will I still remember all my techniques that allowed me to stand out?
And how much longer until the next crisis if the entire tech industry’s C-level showed to be extremely excited about the idea of getting rid of me by any means necessary?
Right but how exactly did AI make that happen? The execs are always trying to shitcan workers as they are the most valuable but also most expensive assets of any company. But you gave me 2 examples of NOT ai making you loose your job and have yet to explain how AI has screwed you. I understand it helps to be mad at something, just haven’t heard how you lost ur job due to AI specifically. The job market and economy as a whole is in the shitter right now and I don’t think it’s AI’s fault, in fact the investment in AI is the only think that’s making our economy LOOK less shit than it is, granted it’s incredibly inflated and bound to collapse at any moment.
You seem to be focused on the perspective that to lose experts to AI means that the AI may literally outperform people and thus lead to them getting fired.
What I’m trying to say is that it’s not the only way a man can get expunged from the industry.
AI made it blatantly obvious that the C-level is extremely hostile and threatening to anyone beneath them. That if you fire enough people you will create a whilpool that will expand and start devouring even the most capable professionals. That efficiency befenits are only for the higherups, your expected performance will extend without any benefit.
The advent of AI didn’t generate these issues, but it augmented them far beyond human limits.
AI makes that happen because the execs believe the lies of the AI companies and/or use them as excuses for their bad decisions during or following COVID to lay people off.

It’s becoming an excuse for mass layoffs, when the end result isn’t more productivity but lower quality.
