I'm not anti AI at all. I think it is disruptive, but unless there is exponential growth going forward in its ability, I just don't see it replacing so many tech jobs. Maybe it is just my perspective as someone who works on the infra/devopsy side of things. What do you think abo

My stance is the same as Karpathy's anyone who is not seeing huge productivity gains has a skill issue and not it's not an AI issue. If you think it's an AI issue you have a skill issue.
That's not meant to be mean or condescending, it just means that you haven't developed the skills yet to wield AI and you should be aware of that, rather than being in the group of people that could lose your job not being able to use it effectively.
I had an executive at a very large well know FAANG (I can't say which) just tell me that their legal people had pushed back on a 2 month long infra/SRE project and then there was a very bad site incident that would have benefited from that project, someone built the entire project with AI in two days - properly, security vetted because of the emergency, and legal allowed it and it saved the day entirely and fundamentally changed the view of AI.
This is recent, you won't hear the details publicly, but yes.... it's not just disruptive but it's fundamentally changing absolutely everything in FAANG-level SRE/dev ops.
