> More productivity means fewer people are required.

Required for what? If your goal is growth, and AI really is improving productivity of every employees that uses it, then why would you fire anyone?

There’s an optimal number of employees required at any productivity point. Why don’t Google hire 3 times the number of developers? They have the money right? What’s your logic for not hiring more?

  • Because firing is not a zero-sum for hiring.

    Hiring 1 developer instead of 3 is not the same cost as firing 2 developers.
