I'm actually bordering on thinking that (though the idea of someone measuring how much code in their github repo has been written with copilot, and then estimating how much devs can be laid off, sounds unrealistic. "We need to reduce salaries by the end of Q4 to please investors" is much more likely.)
And they already don't explain layoffs with the real explanation ("we over-hired and over-paid, the economy is tanking because energy is going scares, and our investors asked to reduce salaries by the end of Q4 because it's the only thing they know how to ask.")
But we'll start to see less and less hiring, some departments closing, and positions asking for "N years conversing with adversarial NNs" rather than "X years programming in Y".
