Some org started rehiring junior devs because AI companies keep increasing their token costs. It is becoming cheaper to hire humans again to handle basic tasks, like aligning a button on screen, fixing typos or even performing PHP+MySQL coding.
You just have to wait until the AI bubble bursts or the VC money dries up. Approx 40% to 50% of AI data centers planned for 2026 in the U.S. are likely to be delayed or canceled as banks and VCs are refusing to provide further financing 😂

Analysis Summary
Rising AI token costs are making human labor competitive again for routine programming tasks, a real trend confirmed by multiple tech outlets covering enterprise cost pressures. The specific rehiring example is unverified, and the 40-50% data center cancellation claim lacks sourced data — it's speculation presented as forecast. The post reflects genuine industry stress over AI pricing but overstates certainty on future infrastructure cancellations.
Claims Analysis (3)
“Some org started rehiring junior devs because AI companies keep increasing their token costs”
Plausible given rising token costs documented by multiple outlets, but specific company unnamed and rehiring claim unconfirmed.
“It is becoming cheaper to hire humans again to handle basic tasks, like aligning a button on screen, fixing typos or even performing PHP+MySQL coding”
Semafor and Verge confirm token costs are rising and creating labor-cost comparisons in enterprise decisions. Specific task examples unverified but premise sound.
“Approx 40% to 50% of AI data centers planned for 2026 in the U.S. are likely to be delayed or canceled as banks and VCs are refusing to provide further financing”
No source provided for specific percentage or data center cancellation claim. Futurism article discusses cost pressures but does not cite 40-50% cancellation figures.
