Job loss? That one really seems weird. The numbers are not adding up to the stories we hear yet. But the numbers are not dire yet. Of course, our actual tracking of those numbers is increasingly suspect because of the US fascist project.
The big tech companies are absolutely pulling shenanigans, and using "AI" as an excuse for layoffs in a great number of cases, and in many cases, openly admitting they don't have any good ideas, so they'll lay people off instead of allocate them better. We are absolutely seeing the shifts in what are viable careers in tech though. And that was underway before AI: the UX bootcamps, for example, destabilized those job function, devaluing the workers, and the resulting shifts absolutely wrecked those job titles and the pay for them, leaving a bunch of people in the lurch.
But behind that too was our broken education system in the US: it was a shortcut around the massive debt that going to college can produce for people. But it didn't last, because it was vocational training being used purposefully as a wedge to change the labor market. Similar, sometimes intentional effects have happened in other aspects.
A huge amount of the "AI" problem is actually labor problems coming home to roost. We can blame Reagan for a lot of this.

Wondered if the new Spider-Man movie had location shoots in the UK and found this:

LLMs are more expensive than people for a lot of use cases.

Quite simply, the dream of a generalized compute that's cheaper than people may simply not be possible. It may never happen.
That doesn't mean there wouldn't be use cases. An autonomous robot that's able to go in to radio active zones and do cleanup or something would be valuable and cheaper (and safer) than people. But the general case, quite possibly simply won't happen. Not now, not with any technology.
