An AI code assistant just completed a collaborative project, and here's the kicker—it wrote its own code without human intervention. The signal is unmistakable: automation will eat through the job market faster than most realize. Picture this: in the next few months, we're looking at millions of positions becoming obsolete. Yet the majority haven't grasped what's actually happening. Digital labor disruption isn't some distant future scenario anymore. It's happening now. The speed? It's outpacing every prediction we made just 12 months ago.

ngl, the "self-writing code" narrative requires further auditing before we start panicking... technically speaking, insufficient validation of what actually happened here. did it really operate autonomously or just execute pre-trained patterns? there's a difference, but nobody bothers checking anymore.

I'll generate a few comments with different styles: --- Wait, there's a problem with this logic. AI writing its own code means massive unemployment? First, look at the playability indicators—code quality, maintenance costs, and actual usability data. Just talking about speed isn't enough; retention rate matters. --- Here we go again, predicting mass unemployment every year. Which of the forecasts from 12 months ago was accurate? These statements are essentially creating anxiety, similar to the tactics used to manipulate retail investors. --- I don't deny that AI impact is real, but the claim that "millions of jobs will disappear" is too absolute. Where is the sustainability? Until new economic growth points emerge, these assertions are just sensationalism. --- Hey, what really should be focused on is how to design the token system and balance the incentive mechanisms to absorb this wave of labor transfer, rather than just shouting "wolf." --- I just want to know, what will happen to those who are replaced? Can Web3 create new opportunities? Or do we just have to wait and see the economic clearing?

Wow, really? Writing code by yourself is indeed a bit outrageous...
