alt Hacker NewsThat still seems super naive, at least if its extended to software engineering. Companies already treat software engineers like disposable cogs to be burnt out and discarded. I don't see how AI will improve that.

I think if you’re legitimately providing value to the company, you aren’t disposable.
If you are but still get canned, then you’re just dealing with irrational management, and that predates AI.

AI isn't an adequate replacement for experienced software engineers, that is true.
But employers think it is, and are falling for the hype and are affecting engineers left and right regardless.
Whether I'm wrong or they're wrong is immaterial.
They're still replacing SWEs with AI.
