The article gives the following explanation for this graph:

On that score, the big AI companies seem to think they are close to AGI. One giveaway is reflected in their own hiring practices. According to Zeki Data, the top 15 US AI companies had been frantically hiring software engineers at a rate of up to 3,000 a month, recruiting a total of 500,000 between 2011 and 2024. But lately their net monthly hiring rate has dropped to zero as these companies anticipate that AI agents can perform many of the same tasks.

I have my doubts about this, and I'm confident that we'll be able to replace at least 90% of all software engineers within the next decade. However, I can't think of any other plausible explanations. Progress in AI definitely looks more promising than it did in 2011, so a new AI winter cannot be the explanation.
