Yeah, but he wants people to hear "reduce headcount by 25% if you buy our shit!"

  How do you know that? You are creating this false sense of expectations and hype yourself. I am going to argue contrary. If AI increases productivity 2x, it opens up as much new usecases that previously didn't seem worthy to do for its cost. So overall there will just be more work.

This is the entire history of the computing industry. We’ve been automating our work away for decades and it just creates more demand.

      Yeah, this is only side projects, but I've been spending pretty much all of my free time now on side projects, largely because I feel much faster building them with LLMs and it has a compounding motivational effect. I also see so many use cases and work left to do, even with AI, the possibilities almost overwhelm me. Well I do freelancing as well besides my usual day to day work, and that's also where direct benefits apply, and I'm getting more and more work, overwhelmingly so.
