We will see if they can achieve firing many engineers in the next round, but from what they openly say there that is their plan. It is unlikely they will ever get rid of all engineers, but using AI as an excuse, redundancies seems what they want. Not about the same level of expertise, but factory workers are widely used to train the LLMs that will replace them. https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2026/jun/24/indian-factory-workers-told-film-themselves-for-ai-robots
