    My theory is that it offers a simple scapegoat …

    That’s my intuition too. In my experience, adopting AI mostly has lead to marginally faster MVPs, balooning sloc in PRs, and an explosion of wildly unqualified people applying for tech roles and sometimes even getting them.

    It’s a better kind of nihilistic business story to say that LLMs have been so disruptive, that people are getting fired, rather than investors are scared and greedy and are just being guided around by vibes and their amygdalae right now.
