The tech industry going through a boom and settling back down at a higher place than before isn't the end of the world. They all start merging together soon.

I am more afraid if AI will actually deliver what CEOs are touting. People that are now working will be unemployable and will have to pivot to something else, overcrowding these other sectors and driving wages down.
If that comes to pass you will work the same or more for less money than now.
Basically jump back to a true plutocracy since only a few people will syphon the wealth generated by AI and that wealth will give them substantial temporal power.
This is basically just a standard cliche doomer prediction about any new development.
I mean, I just dont see any evidence of that happening. TBF I'm a SWE so I can only speak to that segment, but its literally worse than useless for working with anything software related thats non-trivial...
I see that sentiment here all the time and I don't understand what you must be doing; our projects are far from non trivial and we get a lot of benefit from it in the SWE teams. Our software infra was alway (almost 30 years) made to work well with outsourcing teams, so maybe that is it, but I cannot understand how you can have quite that bad results.

There has never been an industry that does that consistently (that wasn't government subsidised at least).
We got lucky with the dotcom bubble.
There's no guarantee of anything, and it's totally possible for the industry to collapse and stay that way.
They got the current administration to ban state level regulation for them. Not to mention various defense contracts. They are government subsidized.
