The software sector has lost roughly $2 trillion in market capitalization this year, with companies like Servicenow and Salesforce facing significant declines due to fears of seat compression."
"Investors are pricing in a scenario where a single AI agent replaces multiple human software users, which threatens the per-seat licensing revenue that SaaS companies have built their business models around.
