Had a relative come into town recently who works for a large corp, and he mentioned that there were a lot of lay-offs, of the programming staff due to A.I.
But the shock I got was that they were programming in Python!
I have played around with Python using a Raspberry Pi, and though it was intended for hobbiest's !?

Python is currently the dominant programming language for general purpose computing.

Despite massive investments and widespread hype around artificial intelligence, the technology has delivered zero financial payoff to corporate America outside of tech. Revenue per worker is rising for the Mag 7 but is flat for the S&P 493, see the first chart below. Profit margins are rising for the Mag 7 but are flat for the S&P 493, see the second chart below. And there are still no signs of AI boosting productivity growth, see the third chart below. With no impact on the bottom line, mainstream corporate America is pulling back and starting to view token spending not as a source of growth but as a cost center that weighs on margins.
