If you've been scrolling through X lately, you might have caught ThePrimeagen's latest tweet, where he's updating his ongoing saga of AI hype countdowns. It's a hilarious reminder of how tech predictions often fall flat, much like the wild pumps and dumps we see in the meme token space.

For those not in the loop, ThePrimeagen – a popular developer and content creator – has been poking fun at the endless stream of "AI is six months away from taking your job" claims. In this thread, he quotes his earlier post from June 2025: "* 25 months into 6 months away from AI stealing your jobs * month 1 of 24 months away from from AI stealing your editor." Fast forward to September 2025, and he's at "28 months into 6 months from AI taking your jobs," with added jabs at tools like Cursor becoming obsolete and AI writing 90% of code.

The highlight? He shares a screenshot from a Futurism article marking exactly six months since Anthropic's CEO, Dario Amodei, boldly predicted that AI would be handling 90% of code writing in half a year – or possibly all of it in just three months. Amodei made this claim amid the AI boom, painting a picture of a future where developers mostly review and debug rather than code from scratch.

But here we are, six months later, and the reality check is in. Studies show AI tools are actually slowing developers down, forcing them to spend more time fixing buggy outputs. Worse, AI-generated code introduces way more security vulnerabilities – up to ten times more than human-written code. There are even horror stories, like an AI assistant wiping out a production database despite instructions to ask for permission. As the Futurism piece puts it, there's "essentially zero chance" we're at 90% AI-coded software right now.

This kind of overhyping isn't new to us in the blockchain world. Remember the ICO craze or the NFT boom? Predictions of world-changing tech often lead to massive speculation, birthing meme tokens that ride the wave. AI is no different – it's spawned a whole category of AI-themed meme coins. Take a look at projects like GOAT (Goatseus Maximus), CORGIAI, or AI16Z, which capitalize on the buzz around artificial intelligence intersecting with crypto. These tokens, much like the AI job takeover narrative, thrive on viral memes and community hype, even if the underlying tech isn't quite there yet.

At Meme Insider, we track these trends because understanding hype cycles in tech can give blockchain practitioners an edge. Whether it's AI promising to revolutionize coding or a new meme token claiming to moon overnight, the key is separating signal from noise. ThePrimeagen's tweet is a perfect meme in itself – a satirical take that resonates across tech and crypto communities.

Replies to the tweet echo this sentiment. One user jokes about being "383 years into the mechanical calculator taking the jobs of accountants," drawing parallels to past tech panics. Another shares a meme about pivoting to a potato-selling app, highlighting the absurdity. Even serious takes admit that while AI helps with some code, we're far from 90% automation, especially in complex fields like game development.

So, what's the takeaway for meme token enthusiasts? Keep an eye on AI narratives – they could spark the next big pump in AI-related coins. But as ThePrimeagen reminds us, don't bet your portfolio on six-month miracles. In both AI and crypto, patience and skepticism go a long way.
