I agree absolutely that legacy big co is at a disadvantage here.
This is disruptive so they can't engage with it as pure opportunity. If they ask their management teams whether AI can replace half their workforce, their workforce will of course tell them "no we're irreplaceable". It's a threat.
Meanwhile some competitor upstart will engage with it as pure opportunity. "I wonder if I can build this company with 1/10th the headcount or no people at all". And, you know what? They'll do it.
One way or another big co is going to get disrupted. The question is will they disrupt themselves before an AI-first competitor does? I doubt it.
It's up-and-coming cos for the win IMO.
