It seems to have begun: the largest IT companies are cutting staff, giving preference to AI.

Just recently:

- IBM has suspended the admission of new centurions whose tasks can be performed by AI. Under the threat of dismissal of 30% of employees (7800 people);

- File hosting Dropbox is going to cut 16% of the staff for the same reason (500 people);

— In the latest report from the employment company C hallenger, Gray & Christmas, it is reported that over 3,900 people were fired due to AI in May alone;

- And as a cherry on the cake, the CEO of Stability AI believes that in the next five years, programmers will disappear as a profession, since 41% of all code is already generated using AI (according to GitHub).

God, how I do not want to go to the factory.
