Not sure I quite get the point of the article. Sure, you won't capture $100k/year/dev. But if you capture $2k/year/dev, and you replace every dev in the world... that's the goal right?
I don't think the value stacks like that. Hiring 10 low level workers that you can pay 1/10th the salary to replace one higher level worker doesn't work.
Sure it does! Let me just hire 9 women for 1 month...

#14Do execs really dream of entirely removing their engineering departments? If this happens then I would expect some seriously large companies to fail in the future. For every good idea an exec has, they have X bad ideas that will cause problems and their engineers save them from those. Conversely an entirely AI engineering team will say "yes sir, right on it" to every request.

#16The title is slightly misleading. What the article is really about is the idea that all of the money that is now paid in wages will somehow be paid to AI companies as AI replaces humans.

Is anyone actually claiming this?

Yes, that is exactly how offshoring and enterprise consulting takes place.

that $2k won't last long as you will never maintain a margin on a service like that
employee salaries are high because your competitors can't spawn 50000 into existence by pushing a button
competition in the industry will destroy its own margins, and then its own customer base very quickly
soon after followed by the economies of the countries they're present in
the whole thing is a capitalism self destruct button, for entire economies
