According to another meme i saw here recently, it seems likely they'll pivot from shooting themselves in the foot by firing their devs in favor of AI, to shooting themselves in the foot by contracting devs from poor countries to clean up the mess the AI left behind.

That said, i hope the fired devs get better jobs somewhere they're appreciated 🙌

They did step two in 2011....shit didn't work out well...but the CEOs who did that don't remember or are retired...so they'll do it again.

CEOs that didn't retire since then remember how much money it made them and they will do it again!
