On one hand they say AI is an overbuilt bubble with no use
cases, then on the other they say AI will wipe out any incumbent
software or service. The last couple of days we've watched

The Atlantic has an article about this. "In May 2025, Dario
Amodei, the CEO of the AI company Anthropic, said that AI could
drive unemployment up 10 to 20 percent in the next one to five
years and “wipe out half of all entry-level white-collar jobs.” Jim
Farley, the CEO of Ford, estimated that it would eliminate
“literally half of all white-collar workers” in a decade. Sam
Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, revealed that “my little group chat with
my tech-CEO friends” has a bet about the inevitable date when a
billion-dollar company is staffed by just one person."
