How will Anthropic’s AI impact employment in software and IT services?
How do you think Anthropic’s AI will change the SaaS business model, and how will it affect jobs?
With Anthropic launching advanced AI tools or plugins for enterprise and legal workflows, do you think AI assistants like Claude can change the traditional per-user or per-seat SaaS pricing model?
Will SaaS companies need to move towards AI-first products, and how do you see this impacting employment in software engineering and IT services, especially in service based companies?

What is Saas?
mother in law
Software as a service
Software Engineers will face what factory workers faced in 80s to 90s due to automation- mass layoff, nontransferable skills, no income.
I don't know why people don't understand this. Historically we have seen revolutions fundamentally change jobs are created. The Industrial revolution and IT revolution created much higher paying jobs and pushed for merit over everything, in a way that was unprecedented. LMs have 100xed the productivity, 99 percent of jobs of tomorrow don't even exist today . Indian IT as it exists today either goes a transformational change (low probability due to babufication of it giants) or goes extinct (will be severely undercut by lean global teams)
Mordern capitalism runs on what skill and how irreplaceable you are, but now AI is better than most skilled personnel, is multi disciplinary
So AI does not create new jobs to replace existing one. All white collar jobs might be replaced soon you never know
This is just GB300 work, Rubin Vera & Ultra is still far. That machine is 30-45 X of GB300 NVL72 capabilities & capacity.
@Zeptaa @Intellectual @Fundamental @xcalabarat @WellinformedContent25 Ur take ? India’s govt is screwed if salaried middle class (their main tax cow) gets jobless. We’re the ‘civilized’ payers keeping consumption/banks afloat; mass unemployment = death spiral. Real talk: Useless Bangalore AI startups won’t save everyone. What are the actual SOLUTIONS to dodge this? Job creators next 3-5 yrs? (Cybersec, robotics integration, energy tech?) What to learn TODAY (agentic AI builds, AWS/GCP infra, biotech data pipelines?) Govt/companies gotta do WHAT (retrain subsidies, UBI pilots?)
Nothing changes overnight, find job which works on legacy systems or open your chaipoint.
Secondly study ai, whatever suits you. Indians will be required to do grunt work there also
Job market will change to GIG based, contractual: which we Indians actually hate but in US it is popular. We need to keep our NW intact also whosoever will switch to this GIG side first will have large benefits
Low hiring peak firing era
A lot of people who have worked only in services companies will start doomrism here.
Have worked with teams and teams of people who have access to cursor and advanced AI tools since their inception.
I have close friends in similar environments.
Some people have very high productivity and some people don't. On the whole, the amount of work we do and ship has increased tremendously. Hiring is still happening and it's even harder to find good people now as the bar has risen.
I'll give an example in web domain itself.
- Do you need someone who can generate a fancy webpage with animation and framer motions and cool bells and whistles which 80% of people think we developers do? Nope.
- Do you need UI developers who are good at android, ios and web at the same time and can optimise products for performance. Senior engineers who can create enterprise grade tools and make architectural decisions. People who can push product and wear multiple hats? People who can use these ai tools to automate PR tracking, approvals, deployments, create large workflow with AI generated code to move 20X the speed while maintaining stability? Yes. People who can transform to other fields like backend, product, design and business at the same time? Yes. People who can add tremendous value and take ownership for an organisation? Yes.
In a way, AI is redefining what's important and valuable skill and people will be solving bigger problems at a larger scale. Companies would be doing more.
Just because chainsaw or automatic nail guns or a computer exists, doesn't mean that you don't need people doing trades anymore.
It's time to adapt and transform. Not to chicken out and say that the sky is falling.
How many can implement mentioned in point 2. Very very few. So mass layoffs.
We are Indians we are one crazy jugad away, we are getting through this no worries.
Ai will dupe investors in near soon
