Huh? Your other comment explicitly said you were replacing labor: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47939146

You can’t argue “we were able to get away with not hiring more developers” and also say you aren’t replacing labor.

Morally I trend towards your side of things, but it’s also important to be realistic about what you’re actually doing. Money is going towards Anthropic and not towards new hires. That’s a replacement of labor. It doesn’t matter what the end goal was.
