Possibly. But software is funny - increased software productivity tends increase demand for software. Perhaps the job market will be saturated, but perhaps the market will simply grow.

Certainly possible, but likely the result will be a ton of new startups than larger tech companies ballooning their ranks - as this gets better, those will either stay the same or be reduced. IOW, the fat big tech comp the OP is stressing over won't really be a thing at scale anymore. Time will tell, but that's my prediction.
