Predicting the future is filled with people looking like arses due to their predictions. But there's a few things that have been generally true when there's been reasonably disruptive technologies. First, a bunch of job types will disappear or diminish substantially. If a company relies on making money from those job types, and doesn't pivot sufficiently quickly, then they'll likely go under. But it doesn't follow that that will imply fewer jobs or fewer companies in general. It doesn't even imply fewer in the disrupted industry. It does, usually, mean that there'll be different demands for different skills and that will, likely, make space for different opportunities. Of course, this time it could be different from all the others. But I can't say I see any evidence of that. I could end up looking like an arse of course.
