Also, it's looking more and more like jobs that involve hard math and logic will be sticking around for a long time in the new AI regime. I have tried to get chatgpt, copilot, and llama to write lock-free stacks and other examples of simple but difficult code, and it has not gone well.

"Soft skill" jobs like executives and managers are definitely on the chopping block first.

Wouldn’t that be some delicious irony? Never gonna happen but it would be quite funny if it did.

It's already happening - HR departments and recruiters are getting the ax in most of the major rounds of layoffs. An AI system that can write "nice" emails will replace at least half of HR jobs these days.

I think the "ladder climbers" aren't going to be fully replaced, but their ranks are already getting thinned, too.
