"Companies think AI will deliver senior level impact for junior level costs. Which means they will not pay senior salaries nor hire juniors."
Is this yet another pressure on the market or possibly just anecdotal?

“AI is coming for my job” is a common refrain from many tech workers today.
We’ve all heard that AI is increasingly taking over entry-level and low-skill tech jobs, either fully automating them or augmenting workflows to reduce staffing needs.
So are we all doomed?

Are we over the hype yet about AI replacing jobs?
Has the reality set in on the actual efficacy and cost (financial and ecological) of AI.
Have the constraints and concerns finally risen to a level where we realize that AI will perhaps not be used to replace all workers?

Sometimes the devil is in the details:
SquareX Passkeys Pwned attack actually relies on malware to hijack the creation of a new passkey, not to steal existing ones.
This falls outside the FIDO threat model, which assumes a trusted browser/OS environment.
