If the last few years of the AI hype cycle has taught me anything is there's massive late movers advantage.

Anyone who spent time learning the AI tools over that period of time has basically wasted their time. Working with agents is nothing like prompt engineering. I imagine whatever comes after will be nothing like agents etc. Sounds like those who try to keep up with AI will be equally unemployed.

If the HN community is an example of this, they will be left behind regardless because they will avoid all tooling and the benefits that comes along with it.

I suppose I shouldn't care too much. Less competition for people like me that have embraced the change.

Thing is short/medium term VC subsidies require lots of users to embrace AI. If they don't the money dries up and you end up paying the full price for these models. Which are currently heavily discounted (this is an understatement). How much are you currently paying for your usage 20$/m? 200$/m? How does that look when it's 2000$/m? 20000$/m?

With all of the competition in big tech, prices will go down.
