> AI-related changes in how content is generated and shared

This has to do with them leveraging AI for their product, not replacing software developers writing code. They also didn't fire any full-timers, so I fail to see how this fits your assertions.

Its the beginning. I do hope I'm wrong but I dont think either of us knows the future.

The difference is I'm not out here making grandiose statements, acting like I do know.

Welcome to the internet.

Not sure me saying "I have a feeling this is going to continue as AI / LLM's become more capable" is a grandiose statement; I think you may be overreacting but whatevs.

I'm sorry you are so angry friend, all the best. Wishing you happiness.
