Stupid comments, and he is not alone, I think many organisations CEOs make such statements just to be in limelight and news. Now InMobi name will flash with AI news

I am an ex inmobi. He has apologised internally via mail to employees, saying he has been misquoted.

Then he can say the same thing publicly, that he has been misquoted, has he?

no , he wont , he would have said these exact things to please investors. Now to avoid internal agitation and repulsion he is playing gimmick.

I who work with products like Inmobi can pretty comfortably say that the competition in this space is so much that you just can't stop innovating.

There is nothing like automating process in adtech, your competitor always makes you launch that new feature.

Not sure why these kind of comments are coming from such high posts.

It's not about complete automation but Development time can be reduced significantly. Although 80% for sure seems like a stretch

My personal experience while using cursor/claude is that they have the potential to reduce the number of engineers required in a team. Earlier tasks which used to take a day now only takes at max an hour. AI does remove the human inefficiencies. I also used it in my personal project and launched a small tool which is being currently used by more that 2k people. And I was able to develop that within a night, that too when I was taking a lot of breaks. Without AI it would have taken me easily a week to build and launch that. It won’t remove the engineers completely but it would surely reduce the headcount required in a team and even my friends in google are telling me that AI is writing better code than them and is able to easily understand the context with minimum prompts. And it would just get better from here in terms of quality and intelligence.

If 8 hours work can be done in an hour, that's more than 80% of jobs gone.

I would say close to 60%, you would still need backups, multiple people to own it. But definitely not the team size which we have now. Especially for the developed products and teams.

I'm not trusting any statement about AI unless it comes from openai or deepseek guys.

Dont believe OpenAI either. They have too much vested interest and their past of constantly hiding facts makes them untrustworthy at best and unethical at worst.

OpenAI is the first company you should doubt, they're funding the company that designs AI benchmarks.

Either his company does not do core product development or he is just a clown with just superficial knowledge on LLMs

AWS CEO: No more programmers in 2 years

"If you go forward 24 months from now, or some amount of time — I can't exactly predict where it is — it's possible that most developers are not coding," said Garman, who became AWS's CEO in June.

"Coding is just kind of like the lang...
