AI is coming for your job

And then, almost overnight, business leaders see the savings of replacing humans with AI — and do this en masse. They stop opening up new jobs, stop backfilling existing ones, and then replace human workers with agents or related automated alternatives.

Be it automation, off shoring, or just plain ‘do more with less’ AI is accelerating automation of many tasks. I know the long view is that technology results in more jobs. But when will they come?

It should be noted that Anthropic currently has hundreds of openings for human beings on their careers page. So the truth lies somewhere inbetween.
