Massive Job Loss in Tech is Coming — And It’s Closer Than You Think.
OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, recently asked a chilling question:
“What’s the smallest OpenAI team that could retrain GPT-4 from scratch today?”
Just a year ago, building GPT-4 took hundreds of people and almost the entire OpenAI workforce.
Today? According to Alex Paino, who led GPT-4.5's pretraining, it would take just 5 to 10 people.
Let that sink in.
As AI becomes more efficient, the number of people needed to build and maintain powerful systems is shrinking dramatically. That means more automation, fewer jobs, and a tech industry that no longer needs “everyone.”
Tech jobs aren’t immune. The very engineers who built the future are at risk of being replaced by it.
This is a wake-up call — not just for developers, but for the entire workforce.
It's time to Reskill. Rethink. Reposition.
The AI era is here, and it’s not waiting for anyone.
