That's the most reasonable interpretation I've heard. I'm not assuming they're being reasonable, though. I have a deeply negative view of the crytocurrency industry including Coinbase, and they just wrote "non-technical teams are now shipping production code", so I'm more primed to assume they mean something unethical, short-sighted, unrealistic, and negligent.

Another somewhat reasonable interpretation occurred to me later: that they're using "AI-native" as a shorthand for "AI-native systems" aka systems designed with AI / to take advantage of AI from the start, and thus "AI-native talent" as a shorthand for "people talented in creating those systems", rather than the people themselves being AI-native. But again, given who said it, I'm not going to assume that's what they meant.

scoot's comment [1]: "I'm not sure exactly which children they're planning to replace all their staff with, nor how they plan to get around the child labour laws" sounds exactly right to me.
