This was a fantastic read by Ala Stolpnik.
Here are my favorite quotes:
The displacement isn’t purely about AI capability. It’s also about which humans treat their work as a craft versus a paycheck.
The hard part is the thinking that has to happen before the building starts, and the scrutiny that has to happen after.
Both super important as they highlight how much doing the actual thinking matters.
And, it matters a TON. Without the thinking, without the ownership, you’re easily replaceable.
Also, who wants to simply become a meat puppet to be used by AI? (hopefully, no-one)

Interesting account. I was talking with a CTO the other day with similar experiences of replacing offshore talent.
“A six-month project was completed in three days.”
Here’s the new problem I see emerging without solid feedback loops:
"Their new study of 1,488 workers found the tipping point: 3 AI tools = peak productivity. Add a 4th, and it drops. Not plateaus. Drops.
The cost:
- 39% more major errors
- 33% more decision fatigue
- 34% intent to quit among affected workers
They call it “AI brain fry.” I call it Tuesday."

A valid problem! But, it feels like an easy problem to avoid with time. People learn (hopefully).
