ChatGPT is not to blame for logistics, construction, medical, and other kinds of entry level jobs being down by a third..

BC = Before ChatGPT, AD = AI Domination

So we are currently in 3 AD, where the last remaining entry level jobs are being hunted and made extinct.

It's not AI. We are in a recession caused by fear and instability.

Tech may just be dying in general.

This could finally be the collapse we have been waiting for.

While the US was allowing capitalists to hoard all of the USs excess capital, China was facilitating the development of important industries via central planning.

Look at Intel. The owning class has become so greedy and incompetent. They aren't even running functional companies anymore: just grifting for government money then using that for stock buybacks.

I think it is possible that the widespread introduction of ChatGPT will cause a brief hiatus on hiring due to the inelasticity of demand. For the sake of argument, imagine that ChatGPT makes your average developer 4x more productive. It will take a while before the expectation becomes that 4x more work is delivered. That 4x more work is scheduled in sprints. That 4x more features are developed. That 4x more projects are sold to clients/users. When the demand eventually catches up (if it exists), the hiring will begin again.

stupid government is the root cause - and government is chosen by voters and does what voters want it to do. China is monarchy and monarchs listen to no one.
