This guy is in the UK, like me. The UK hiring market is freezing up, and has been since reeves et al raised employer taxes on hiring employees. They also just added some more legislation to make them harder to dismiss, and increased minimum wage, fueling wage compression. Now everyone is waiting for the budget in November to see what will happen next. I'm pretty sure most of this guy's problems are related to that, not AI. I work as a contractor in tech and bounce around different businesses. A lot of them are encouraging/using AI in some form but there are always new hires, whole functions aren't being replaced. People are on boarded every week. This is more science fiction than reality at the moment. The problem is taxes and regulations.
