Ask HN: How many jobs will AI eliminate? Which ones are safe?

Over the past few weeks, I’ve spoken with several VCs who confidently claim that companies won’t need to hire anyone in the next year or two because AI will handle everything.

Even Bill Gates recently said we might all be out of work soon and won’t need to do anything in an "age of abundance."

How much of this is hype vs. reality?

Which jobs are likely to be completely eliminated by AI and which ones are likely to survive or even thrive?
