@nixCraft If all the companies that have "pivoted to AI" haven't gone bust by then. That's my main concern, people keep saying "Yes, but in a year they'll have to hire us back to fix everything", but who will hire us back? The companies who have destroyed themselves by wholesale buying into this fad?

@poundquerydotinfo @nixCraft If they go bust that's a good thing. Better companies will replace them. Ideally many smaller companies instead of few tech giants, and companies that are less top down owned/controlled. They're legacy in so many ways.
