What you are saying does not contradict the point from your parent. Automation can create "more roles and specialties" while reducing the total number of people in aggregate for greater economic output and further concentration of capital.
- myko 1y agoI was talking about software development roles specifically, LLMs aren't going to reduce them imo - they just aren't good enough, and I don't think they can be
- rglullis 1y agoThey are reducing jobs already. Recent grads are having serious trouble to get work right now: https://www.understandingai.org/p/new-evidence-strongly-suggest-ai https://www.understandingai.org/p/new-evidence-strongly-sugg...
- myko 1y agoI don't see any evidence this is about LLMs vs the general state of the economy
- rglullis 1y agoIf it was the general state of the economy, unemployment would be hitting all groups of developers. TFA I linked to is showing that the reduction in positions for recent grads has fallen down disproportionately compared to everyone else.
