I remember seeing an uptick in HN job posts, of which a large percentage (30%?) were AI startups. Now, will they still be there in 5 years? 10? Who can say. But technically, right now, they are jobs.

I have seen jobs for AI Engineering Managers, the description is a bit vague but its mostly use AI to deliver faster.

theres going to be a lot more of small business stealing big business cookies than people are currently thinking

It does make sense that AI would empower smaller groups, but is important to keep in mind that these AI tools themselves like the LLM models and training, etc. will not be in the hands or created by small groups. Small groups will be beholden to these AI models and the subscription price may go up or even take the model of commercial real estate where they get a percentage of the revenue that’s generated using these tools. The data used to train these models is key. We all need to be very aware of this.
