Software and services stocks have taken a beating, with software multiples pulling back by roughly 33% since late 2025 as investors fret over AI’s potential to automate vast swaths of knowledge work. Earlier this year, Elon Musk predicted that AI and humanoid robots will make work completely “optional” within the next 10 to 20 years, ushering in a post-scarcity economy where money itself becomes irrelevant. He joins a growing chorus of tech executives issuing stark warnings about human obsolescence; OpenAI CEO Sam Altman recently cautioned that superintelligence could soon outperform even top corporate executives, while Microsoft AI chief Mustafa Suleyman and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei have projected that sweeping white-collar automation could arrive in one to five years. Economists remain skeptical of the timeline, noting that the apocalyptic narrative may be as much a tool to justify astronomical tech valuations as it is an impending economic reality. But a new, cross-asset research report from Morgan Stanley offers a remarkably grounding message for anxious employees and jittery markets: most of you won’t be permanently unemployed; you are just going to find new jobs, many or most of which don’t exist yet. Addressing the widespread concern that AI will “replace millions of jobs and increase unemployment by an equivalent amount,” a large team of Morgan Stanley analysts pointed directly to history. Over the past 150 years, sweeping technological shifts—from electrification and the tractor to the computer and the internet—have fundamentally altered the labor force, but they “did not replace labor”. When the spreadsheet was popularized in the 1980s, for example, it automated tedious financial modeling and reduced the need for certain bookkeeping clerks. However, it simultaneously freed up analysts’ time to do more complex work and birthed entirely new financial professions. Similarly, the firm argues, AI will merely change “job types, occupations, and needed skills”. “While some roles may be automated, others will see enhancement through AI augmentation and other, entirely new roles will be created,” the report said. Rather than a mass extinction event for the white-collar worker, in short, the bank sees the corporate landscape is simply preparing for an evolution. ## The Jobs to Come? So, what will these new jobs look like? Morgan Stanley outlines several emerging professions that it predicts will soon become corporate staples. As AI becomes central to business strategy, companies are expected to hire executive-level **Chief AI Officers** to guide technology adoption across departments. There will also be a massive surge in **AI governance roles** focused on data compliance, policy oversight, and information security, particularly in sensitive sectors like healthcare. The tech sector could see the rise of blended roles, such as the **product manager-engineer hybrid**. Empowered by natural language coding tools, product managers will increasingly engage in “vibe coding”—prototyping and iterating concepts themselves before handing them off to engineers for deployment. Highly specialized roles could also emerge across various industries. In the consumer sector, **AI personalization strategists** and **AI supply chain analysts** will blend data science with customer experience. In industrials, we will see **predictive maintenance engineers** and **smart grid analysts**, while healthcare will demand **computational geneticists** and specialists dedicated to AI diagnostic oversight. For financial markets, the current panic over AI disruption appears premature, if not entirely misplaced, in the bank’s view. Morgan Stanley notes that the services and cyclical industries that have recently seen outsized underperformance due to disruption fears make up only about 13% of the S&P 500’s market cap. Fortune previously reported on a similar finding from other Wall Street economists: the market appears to be talking itself into a panic that the fundamentals don’t justify, a trend likely exacerbated by the increasing number of retail investors in the equities market. Apollo Global Management Chief Economist Torsten Slok warned on Wednesday that the “entire market [is] exposed to a big move,” reasoning that the share of S&P 500 names moving more than 10% in a single day has increased, while options activity remains “extremely elevated, consistent with heavy retail speculation and leverage-like exposure.” This leaves the market structure “more fragile and more vulnerable to an abrupt, outsized move.” ## But What If This Time Is Different? The Morgan Stanley report offers welcome reassurance — but it may be telling a comforting story that doesn’t fit the technological and economic realities of 2026. While it’s true that past waves of automation created as many jobs as they destroyed, AI may represent a qualitatively different shift, targeting cognitive, creative, and decision-making tasks once thought immune to automation. In a new paper released the same day, two Nobel-winning economists (Daron Acemoglu and Simon Johnson) and another, massively influential one (David Autor, known for his work on “the China Shock”) argued that this time really could be different. In “Building pro-worker artificial intelligence,” published by The Hamilton Project, they warned that “pure automation technologies” do the opposite of collaborating with workers: “they commodify human expertise, rendering it less valuable and potentially superfluous.” The specific stock of specialized, human expertise could become “obsolete” with wide deployment of such technology. While the Morgan Stanley thesis reflects historical optimism, history’s lessons may not apply cleanly in a situation with a shift from tools that amplify labor to systems that replace cognition. As warned in the speculative essay by Citrini Research, AI could produce productivity gains that decouple corporate profits from employment even more than in the computing era. If firms can scale output with largely automated workforces, they would have little incentive to rehire at historic rates. Morgan Stanley cites evidence that corporate America is already reaping tangible rewards from AI adoption. By the fourth quarter of 2025, 30% of companies identified as AI “adopters” reported quantifiable financial or productivity benefits from the technology, up from just 16% a year prior. As a result, forward profit margin expectations are actively accelerating for companies successfully utilizing AI. How those margins continue to increase, and how many new jobs those companies create as a result, will bear out whether Morgan Stanley’s prediction is right.  For this story, Fortune journalists used generative AI as a research tool. An editor verified the accuracy of the information before publishing.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>ai</category> <category>futureofwork</category> <category>morganstanley</category> <category>jobmarket</category> <category>automation</category> <enclosure url="https://fortune.com/img-assets/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/GettyImages-1307905796.jpg?resize=1200,600" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Mississippi's Bold Move: Protecting Taxpayer-Funded Jobs with Secret Union Ballots]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/mississippis-bold-move-protecting-taxpayer-funded-jobs-with-secret-union-ballots</link> <guid>mississippis-bold-move-protecting-taxpayer-funded-jobs-with-secret-union-ballots</guid> <pubDate>Wed, 25 Feb 2026 20:15:14 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[## Mississippi's Economic Boom and Unionization Debate Mississippi is experiencing an unprecedented economic transformation, with **record-breaking investments** in technology-driven projects. Governor Tate Reeves announced over **$100 million in taxpayer-funded incentives** for projects that have created thousands of jobs, including: - **$20 billion xAI Data Center** in Southaven - **$10 billion Amazon Web Services** project in Madison County - **$10 billion Compass Data Center** in Lauderdale County These represent the **three largest capital investment projects** in Mississippi's 200-year history, marking a strategic shift toward a **technology-driven economy** while maintaining strength in traditional industries like manufacturing, aerospace, and energy. ## The Southern Unionization Challenge As high-tech jobs move south, labor unions have followed, seeking to replace dues lost in traditional union strongholds like Detroit. However, the **U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics** reports that union membership in the South stands at just **4.5%**—more than 8 percentage points below the national average. Mississippi, as a **right-to-work state**, faces particular challenges including: - A culture resistant to collective bargaining - Political leaders often hostile to unions - Declining union density in neighboring states Despite this, Mississippi has thrived in automotive manufacturing, producing over **half a million vehicles annually** according to the Mississippi Development Authority. ## Protecting Taxpayer Investments **State Senator Josh Harkins**, chair of the Senate Finance Committee, has introduced **Senate Bill 2202** to protect taxpayer investments in economic development projects. The legislation ensures that **Mississippi workers are entitled to private, secret-ballot elections** for any unionization votes at companies accepting state incentives. Harkins explains: "The bill does not prohibit employees from organizing. It does not outlaw unions. It does not interfere with an employee's right to choose union representation if a majority wants it. It simply sets an expectation that the decision is made in a way that protects worker privacy." ## Key Provisions of the Legislation The bill addresses several critical areas: - **Secret-ballot elections** for union activities related to taxpayer-funded incentives - **Neutrality agreements** that restrict information during unionization efforts - **Performance and compliance standards** tied to public incentive packages - **Limited scope** affecting only future incentive agreements and organizing efforts Harkins emphasizes that existing collective bargaining agreements, currently unionized workplaces, and subcontractors remain unaffected. ## Regional Context and Precedents Mississippi joins other Southern states in implementing protections for taxpayer investments: - **Georgia, Tennessee, and Alabama** have enacted similar legislation - Organized labor has criticized these measures, citing federal labor relations laws - The legislation follows Mississippi's practice of attaching **performance standards** to incentive packages, including job creation thresholds and wage benchmarks ## Why This Matters for Tech Workers For professionals in the **IT and technology sectors**, this legislation represents: - **Protection of privacy** in workplace decisions - **Accountability** for companies receiving public funds - **Level playing field** in unionization efforts - **Preservation of Mississippi's competitive advantage** in attracting tech investments As Harkins notes: "These guardrails protect the integrity of the state's return on investment and give policymakers and taxpayers a clear way to evaluate risk and accountability."]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>unionization</category> <category>techinvestment</category> <category>datacenters</category> <category>workplacepolicy</category> <category>mississippi</category> <enclosure url="https://magnoliatribune.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Salter_Sid_20180725_3BW1022ss51-e1636463369730.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[AI Takes Over: How WiseTech's Massive Layoffs Signal the End of Manual Coding]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/ai-takes-over-how-wisetechs-massive-layoffs-signal-the-end-of-manual-coding</link> <guid>ai-takes-over-how-wisetechs-massive-layoffs-signal-the-end-of-manual-coding</guid> <pubDate>Wed, 25 Feb 2026 13:15:16 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[Australian logistics software giant WiseTech Global has announced plans to cut approximately **2,000 jobs**, representing half of its workforce, as it integrates artificial intelligence across its operations. The layoffs will impact product development and customer service teams, including those at its US subsidiary, e2open, and are scheduled to begin in the second half of FY26, extending into FY27. **CEO Zubin Appoo** made a bold declaration: "The era of manually writing code as the core act of engineering is over." He emphasized that AI enhances productivity by leveraging WiseTech's expertise in logistics, rich datasets, and network advantages built over 30 years. The company, known for its CargoWise supply chain management platform used by over 22,000 companies globally, will not redeploy affected employees. However, **Sanchit Vir Gogia**, chief analyst at Greyhound Research, cautions that this move is more about strategic positioning than pure engineering efficiency. "AI becomes the justification layer for a cost structure reset," he noted, highlighting a shift from AI as augmentation to AI as a workforce strategy. ### Vendors Restructuring Alongside Their Customers WiseTech is part of a broader trend. In 2025, AI was cited as the primary driver for nearly 55,000 US layoffs. Companies like Salesforce and Microsoft have also reduced workforces, with Microsoft reporting that AI tools now write up to 30% of its code. This wave of AI-related reductions is now affecting software vendors that enterprises rely on. ### A New Risk for Enterprise Customers For CIOs using CargoWise, the layoffs raise concerns about continuity, especially since 11 of WiseTech's largest customers have less than 20% of expected users live on the platform. Gogia warns that the highest risk period is six to eighteen months post-layoffs, when experienced engineers depart and AI systems are still maturing. He advises CIOs to seek **named human accountability** and contractual SLAs that guarantee timely human escalation. WiseTech has also shifted its commercial model, moving 95% of CargoWise customers to a transaction-based pricing model (CargoWise Value Packs) away from per-seat licensing. Appoo explained, "For SaaS businesses that monetise on seats or users, AI will disrupt them." This transition aims to align pricing with value delivered through automation but introduces cost volatility for buyers due to seasonal volume spikes and other factors. Gogia concludes, "This is not a WiseTech-specific phenomenon. It is a structural SaaS rebase triggered by AI economics."]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>ai</category> <category>layoffs</category> <category>software</category> <category>automation</category> <category>saas</category> <enclosure url="https://www.computerworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/4137200-0-60158700-1772019860-shutterstock_2320153383.jpg?quality=50&strip=all&w=1024" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Win a $500K Prize and a Job at Anduril in This Epic Autonomous Drone Racing Competition!]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/win-a-500k-prize-and-a-job-at-anduril-in-this-epic-autonomous-drone-racing-competition</link> <guid>win-a-500k-prize-and-a-job-at-anduril-in-this-epic-autonomous-drone-racing-competition</guid> <pubDate>Tue, 24 Feb 2026 13:15:22 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[## Anduril’s AI Grand Prix: A Revolutionary Skills-Based Hiring Challenge Getting noticed by hiring managers has become increasingly difficult in today's tech landscape. With **automated resume filters** and **AI-driven screening processes**, many talented engineers struggle to stand out. But **Anduril**, a cutting-edge defense-tech company, is flipping the script with its groundbreaking **AI Grand Prix** – a global autonomous drone racing competition that offers both a **$500,000 prize pool** and a direct path to employment. ### What Is Anduril’s AI Grand Prix? Anduril’s AI Grand Prix invites engineers from around the world to develop **autonomous drone-flying software** capable of navigating virtual and physical courses without human intervention. The winner not only secures a share of the substantial prize money but also earns a chance to **bypass traditional recruiting hurdles** and interview directly for a role at Anduril. > “This is an open challenge,” says Anduril founder Palmer Luckey. “If you think you can build an autonomy stack that can out-fly the world’s best, show us.” ### First, What Is Anduril? Founded in 2017 by Palmer Luckey (inventor of the Oculus VR headset) and former defense and Silicon Valley executives, **Anduril** is a technology company focused on military and national security solutions. It develops advanced hardware like surveillance towers, underwater vehicles, eVTOL aircraft, and autonomous drones, all powered by its **Lattice platform** – a system that uses **machine learning** and sensors to track threats and coordinate responses in real time. ### How Does Anduril’s AI Grand Prix Work? The competition is structured in multiple phases: - **Virtual Phase (April–June):** Teams submit their software to race through custom-built simulated courses. - **Training & Qualification (September):** Top teams advance to southern California for a two-week round, testing their algorithms on autonomous drones built by **Neros Technologies**. - **Championship Event (November):** Finalists compete in Columbus, Ohio, near Anduril’s new **Arsenal-1** manufacturing facility. Anduril plans to make this an annual event, expanding globally to Asia, the Middle East, and Europe. #### Who Can Compete? The contest is open to individuals and teams of up to eight people, with **no professional credentials required**. All ages are welcome, though parental consent is needed for participants under 18. Key restrictions include: - Russian citizens are prohibited. - Winners must be able to obtain a U.S. security clearance. - Foreign contestants are eligible only if Anduril has an open role in their country. #### What Does the Winner Get? The top ten teams split the **$500,000 prize pool**. The highest-scoring participant (or a team member) receives a **direct job interview** at Anduril. Those ineligible for employment get **$10,000** instead. ### An Alternative to Conventional Recruiting Anduril’s AI Grand Prix reflects a broader shift toward **skills-based hiring** in tech, where **technical proficiency** trumps traditional credentials like university degrees. Companies like Meta, Google, Stripe, and Walmart have used similar competitions to identify top talent, emphasizing **performance over pedigree**. > “When I hire people at Anduril, I look for people who have done projects outside of what their work or school required,” Luckey explains. “That drive to learn and create is what matters most.” This approach not only promotes **meritocracy** but also taps into the **curiosity and ambition** of engineers, potentially uncovering hidden talent overlooked by conventional methods.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>anduril</category> <category>ai</category> <category>droneracing</category> <category>skillsbasedhiring</category> <category>techjobs</category> <enclosure url="https://cdn.builtin.com/cdn-cgi/image/f=auto,fit=cover,w=1200,h=635,q=80/sites/www.builtin.com/files/2026-02/anduril-ai-grand-prix.png" length="0" type="image/png"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[AI Job Panic Debunked: Why Tech Giants Are Hiring More Humans Than Ever]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/ai-job-panic-debunked-why-tech-giants-are-hiring-more-humans-than-ever</link> <guid>ai-job-panic-debunked-why-tech-giants-are-hiring-more-humans-than-ever</guid> <pubDate>Mon, 23 Feb 2026 20:15:17 GMT</pubDate> <description>< Anthropic CEO **Dario Amodei** is among the loudest voices warning that AI could **erase many white-collar jobs**. He's been especially outspoken about **coding**, given Anthropic's **Claude Code is so powerful**. A successful editor once told me to focus on what people and companies do, not what they say. So let's look at the jobs Anthropic is trying to fill right now. **Top of the list: software engineering roles.** The AI company with the most effective coding-automation machine on earth is looking to hire more than 100 coding experts. This job posting stood out to me. Anthropic is **hiring an iOS developer** to build mobile apps. I thought you could just **vibe-code** apps these days? Apparently not. **Boris Cherny**, the creator of Claude Code, was asked about this recently. If this AI tool is writing most or all of Anthropic's code these days, why is the company still hiring so many software developers? "Someone has to prompt the Claudes, talk to customers, coordinate with other teams, decide what to build next," Cherny replied on X. "Engineering is changing and great engineers are more important than ever." Let that sink in. **Software development is probably the job that is most disrupted by AI.** Models have gotten good at coding because it's relatively easy to evaluate good versus bad outputs. That's because the code either works, or it doesn't, when deployed. This creates clear yes/no signals that are really valuable for training and fine-tuning new AI models. So if Anthropic is still hiring more than 100 software engineers, then other types of jobs that are less impacted by AI should probably endure as well. Proving my point, Anthropic has 32 finance jobs open, along with 33 in marketing, 16 in legal, and more than 100 in sales. I'm not just telling you this to make you feel better. When **extreme AI job predictions** are made, it leads to dumb ideas such as **banning data center construction**. So, take a breath. **AI is just a (powerful) tool to help humans get more work done.** I'll leave you with final thoughts on this topic from Jensen Huang (who, by the way, is hiring humans like crazy). In a recent interview, he argued that fears of mass job destruction often confuse the "tasks" involved in a job with the broader "purpose" of the role. AI, in his view, changes how tasks get done, but the purpose remains the same. And that means, the technology probably won't destroy jobs and could even increase demand for the people responsible for outcomes at work.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>ai</category> <category>jobs</category> <category>software</category> <category>careers</category> <category>automation</category> <enclosure url="https://i.insider.com/699cac4c2237a6a8f0cdad50?width=1200&format=jpeg" length="0" type="image//699cac4c2237a6a8f0cdad50"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Bay Area Tech Job Losses Ease: Is a Recovery on the Horizon?]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/bay-area-tech-job-losses-ease-is-a-recovery-on-the-horizon</link> <guid>bay-area-tech-job-losses-ease-is-a-recovery-on-the-horizon</guid> <pubDate>Mon, 23 Feb 2026 13:15:22 GMT</pubDate> <description>< ### Challenges and Opportunities Ahead Steve Levy, director of the Center for Continuing Study of the California Economy, outlined three things necessary for a turnaround: 1. **Step up housing production** that is affordable to new workers 2. **Translate data center and AI innovation into new jobs** 3. **Implement more welcoming immigration policies** for both highly skilled and service workers ### External Factors: Tariffs and AI The U.S. Supreme Court's decision limiting presidential authority to impose emergency tariffs could benefit the Bay Area tech industry by removing impediments like global supply chain issues and cost impacts. However, uncertainty remains as the administration plans to invoke alternative legal authorities for tariffs. **Artificial intelligence** poses both a challenge and opportunity. While it may lead to a boom in technologies, it won't automatically translate into a jump in job creation. Hancock noted: "Tech urgently needs people with **rarefied skills** in machine learning and big data, but they don't need armies of them." Despite this, AI could eventually fuel a job boom as the industry adapts. Anderson said: "Rapid investment growth in new AI models and capabilities is leading to new Bay Area hiring gains in some emerging technology roles. This bodes well for a more stable Bay Area labor market in 2026 after years of technology company headwinds."]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>techjobs</category> <category>bayarea</category> <category>layoffs</category> <category>recovery</category> <category>ai</category> <enclosure url="https://www.mercurynews.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/SJM-L-NVIDIA-1.jpg?w=1024&h=599" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[New Mexico's Tech Boom: How AI, Fusion Energy, and Record VC Are Creating High-Paying Jobs and Reversing Brain Drain]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/new-mexicos-tech-boom-how-ai-fusion-energy-and-record-vc-are-creating-high-paying-jobs-and-reversing-brain-drain</link> <guid>new-mexicos-tech-boom-how-ai-fusion-energy-and-record-vc-are-creating-high-paying-jobs-and-reversing-brain-drain</guid> <pubDate>Sun, 22 Feb 2026 13:15:14 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[For years, New Mexico’s talent pipeline has been framed by a familiar worry: **“brain drain.”** The prevailing assumption was that our most talented students and early-career professionals would earn their degrees here, then leave — drawn elsewhere by higher salaries, deeper networks, and clearer career paths. That narrative once had merit. Today, it no longer reflects reality. As founders of **NM Tech Talks**, we work closely with students, technologists, entrepreneurs, investors, and employers across the state. What we see is not an exodus, but an inflection point. New Mexico is no longer just a training ground for the future; it is becoming a place where serious technology companies are built, funded, and scaled. ## Capital Is Flowing into New Mexico at Historic Levels One reason is impossible to ignore: **capital is flowing into New Mexico at historic levels.** The state’s permanent fund, now exceeding $67 billion, has increasingly been deployed through a growing venture program designed to invest directly in high-growth technology companies. In just the past year alone, billion-dollar-scale investments in advanced energy and fusion technology were signed and implemented here, with more deals actively in development. This scale of investment marks a shift from promise to permanence — and it raises a clear question for the state: Do we have the talent pipeline ready to meet the moment? ## The Global Tech Race Creates Opportunity and Urgency The global tech economy is more competitive than ever, and the stakes are high. Around the world, nations are racing to lead in emerging technologies such as **artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and cybersecurity** – technologies that will define economic and geopolitical power for decades. In the global tech race, countries that fall behind risk ceding leadership and influence. For New Mexico, this competition creates both opportunity and urgency. Rather than pursuing careers elsewhere, young professionals can now build world-class technology ventures here that contribute to American innovation. These advanced technologies – from artificial intelligence to aerospace – demand long-term research, specialized infrastructure, and physical space to scale responsibly. These industries are particularly well-suited to New Mexico, with its national laboratories, tier-1 research universities, testing assets, and unmatched geography. ## Tech Roles Offer Competitive Salaries and Mission-Driven Work As capital arrives, opportunity is changing for workers as well. **Tech roles in New Mexico increasingly offer salaries that compete nationally when adjusted for cost of living**, while providing a quality of life that has become out of reach in legacy tech hubs. Just as important, these jobs are often mission driven. Engineers and developers here are working on energy resilience, food systems, climate adaptation, and national security, often in direct partnership with national labs, universities, and early-stage companies. Still, opportunity alone is not enough. One of the most consistent barriers we hear from early-career professionals is not a lack of jobs, but a lack of visibility. Many want to stay in New Mexico but struggle to see how a long-term tech career here fits together. ## Community and Visibility Are Key That is where community matters. **TechFest**, which first launched in October 2024 and returns this fall for its third year, was designed to make New Mexico’s tech ecosystem visible. As the state’s largest free technology conference, it brings together software and AI leaders, climate and advanced energy innovators, entrepreneurs, educators, and advocates for diversity in tech — groups that rarely share the same room. For attendees, TechFest is not about a single job or panel. It is about seeing the ecosystem in motion through meeting mentors, finding collaborators, and understanding how career paths connect. Alongside TechFest, NM Tech Talks supports deeper, hands-on pathways into entrepreneurship and business formation. In 2026, the **Desert Dev Lab Hackathon** will focus on food and agriculture, a sector central to New Mexico’s economy and long-term resilience. Unlike a conference, the hackathon is designed to move ideas from concept to execution, pairing technical talent with mentorship, business support, and pathways to capital. The goal is not just to build prototypes over a weekend. It is to help ideas mature into viable ventures that create jobs and anchor talent locally. Retaining skilled workers is not about convincing people to stay for the sake of staying. It is about ensuring they can find meaningful work, professional growth, and a sense of belonging. Historically, New Mexico has not lacked ambition or capability, but connectivity. If we want different outcomes, we must tell a different story grounded in what is already happening. New Mexico offers mission-driven careers, a collaborative tech community, and a growing network designed to help people build, not just pass through. The infrastructure is here. The talent is here. And increasingly, so is the opportunity to stay. The future of technology does not belong only to the coasts or traditional hubs. In New Mexico, it is already being designed, funded, and launched by people choosing to build their careers, and their lives, right here, contributing to America’s innovation ecosystem to compete on the world stage.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>newmexico</category> <category>techjobs</category> <category>ai</category> <category>startups</category> <category>venturecapital</category> <enclosure url="https://image.abqjournal.com/2984556.jpg?imageId=2984556&x=0&y=0&cropw=100&croph=100&panox=0&panoy=0&panow=100&panoh=100&width=1200&height=683" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[AI Agents Are Coming for Your Job: Anthropic Engineer Warns of 'Painful' Tech Industry Transformation]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/ai-agents-are-coming-for-your-job-anthropic-engineer-warns-of-painful-tech-industry-transformation</link> <guid>ai-agents-are-coming-for-your-job-anthropic-engineer-warns-of-painful-tech-industry-transformation</guid> <pubDate>Sun, 22 Feb 2026 20:15:14 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[**Boris Cherny**, a leading engineer at **Anthropic**, has issued a stark warning about the future of internet-based jobs in the United States. According to Cherny, the rapid evolution of advanced AI agents is set to trigger a transformative shift that could disrupt countless careers. ## Rapidly Evolving AI Systems During an appearance on "Lenny's Podcast," Cherny explained that new AI systems capable of executing tasks on workplace computer tools are developing at an unprecedented pace. These technologies are poised to impact roles across the tech industry, including **software engineers**, **product managers**, and **designers**. "It’s going to expand to pretty much any kind of work that you can do on a computer," Cherny stated. He emphasized that this transition won't be smooth, warning that "In the meantime, it’s going to be very disruptive. It’s going to be painful for a lot of people." ## Claude Code At The Forefront **Claude Code**, Anthropic’s AI coding agent, represents the cutting edge of this technological revolution. Unlike traditional chatbots, this advanced system can perform complex tasks such as running commands and building websites autonomously. Cherny noted that productivity per engineer has already seen significant improvements since Claude Code's launch, with further advancements expected. "It’s the thing that I think brings agentic AI to people that haven’t really used it before, and people are starting to just get a sense of it for the first time," he explained. On Y Combinator’s “Lightcone” podcast, Cherny made an even more dramatic prediction: the job title "software engineer" might disappear entirely by 2026. His advice to workers facing this transformation? Embrace AI tools, understand their functions, and "Don’t be scared of them." ## Broader Workforce Implications The potential impact of AI extends far beyond internet-based jobs. Federal Reserve Governor **Michael Barr** has already warned that AI is beginning to displace young workers in entry-level positions, particularly in **software development** and **customer service** roles. Nico Palesch, a senior economist at Oxford Economics, highlighted that up to **20% of the U.S. workforce** could be exposed to disruptions from robotics and automation in the coming decades. The labor market has already begun to feel these effects, with over **100,000 job cuts** reported in January alone—marking the worst start to a year since 2009. *Disclaimer: This content was partially produced with the help of AI tools and was reviewed and published by Benzinga editors.* *Photo courtesy: Shutterstock*]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>ai</category> <category>automation</category> <category>techjobs</category> <category>futureofwork</category> <category>careerchange</category> <enclosure url="https://cdn.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2026/02/22/Anthropic.jpeg?width=1200&height=800&fit=crop" length="0" type="image/jpeg"/> </item> </channel> </rss>
