Which companies do you think will completely use AI instead of human beings?

More big tech companies bet on AI instead of employees.

  • @Duolingo is starting to prioritise AI over employees and contractors.

  • @Shopify is planning on going "AI first."

  • @Fiverr CEO Micha Kaufman just sent his employees the most brutally honest email: "AI is coming for your jobs. Heck, it's coming for my job too."

  • Firecrawl hires AI agents and has a Slack channel solely for AI agents.

Is it just me or it is kind of hard to find people to build something with?

Hey,
I ve been a software engineer (backend) for over nine years and have been wanting to build something on my own for a while now. I have ideas, good planning skills, and the discipline to execute, but unfortunately, I lack the experience as an entrepreneur, which I believe is an important aspect. This has led me to consider finding partners to help me bring my ideas to life or collaborate on new projects. However, it s been challenging to find people who are committed, structured, have a long-term mindset, and maintain positive energy.
Many people get excited about a project initially, but then they disappear or lose interest when results don t come quickly. And unfortunately, I m not in a position to hire people at the moment.
Has anyone else been through this? How have you found people who are truly committed to the long haul?
