That's only possible if you as the worker are capturing the efficiencies that the automation provides (i.e. you get RSU's, you have an equity stake in the business as well).

Believe it or not most SWE's and white collar workers in general don't get these perks especially outside the US where most firms have made sure tech workers in general are paid "standard wages" even if they are "good".

I mean, if the state can pass a law that forces companies to employ a person instead of an LLM- then it can also pass a law that forces them to pay that person while the LLM does their job. Companies would prefer that for sure: instead of having to keep the worker and the bad performance, they could at least get the nice LLM performance.
