Based on your experience, would you say that it would be a reasonable opinion if someone forecasts that the "mega layoffs" are a high probability situation in 18 months?
Because as Bitcoin investors it would probably be good to get some low bids ready in case a recession happens, followed by the Q.E. pivot. It will be another Golden Opportunity to Buy the DIP, and HODL.
Mega layoffs in 18 months aren't possible in my mind, unless something revolutionary happens. First of all, the only people who know how to use AIs are middle or senior developers and designers, or higher ups but project managers, product owners and many other people who have managerial roles, have no idea how to use it, so companies still need these designers and developers to create a product. If AI advances, I think that it will make our job very easy and that will be it unless AI itself becomes an experienced developer or a designer, then there will be mega layoffs.
You're probably right and the information posted by that person that I posted in my post might only be a mere exaggeration. But although he may be right that there will be layoffs because A.I. will replace some jobs, I might not be a sort of "mega layoffs" situation. It might be a slow transition that will take years, or decades.
Let's talk about it again during December 2027. Merry Christmas or Mega Layoff Christmas?

Despite the fact that I believe I won't be a victim of AI development, I still think about learning a new skill from trades. Sometimes I sit and think, what's the safest job that will not be replaced by AI? I think that trades is the answer.
How can AI change car electrician or a plumber? That will takes decades to achieve that level of development and when we achieve that level, we will already be advanced enough to not worry about anything, so I plan to learn some trades skills like auto electrician. They earn lots of money in my country, are in huge demand and the market is full of stupid electricians but they still manage to have lots of customers because of enormously high demand, so today if you are a smart and educated electrician, in my country you'll make lots of money, more than anyone with university degree.
But software A.I. won't be the only advancement going into the next decade. It will also be the advancement in Robotics, which has also been developing faster than expected.
Is that person I quoted in my post actually describing A.I. + Robotics as the cause of the "mega layoffs"? The "new trade" might be Robot Maintainer and Repairs. Although A.I. can teach these robots to repair themselves or each other.
