Technology@beehaw.org•Tech companies are cutting jobs and betting on AI. The payoff is far from guaranteed
0·1 month agoWhen it comes to tech layoffs, the AI argument is almost complete BS. If they really wanted to increase productivity, they’d be purchasing agent subscriptions, not laying ppl off.
The layoffs are happening because it is too easy to outsource tech work to exploited workers in foreign countries. In the vast majority of these cases AI should be read as “Actually Indian” (with utmost respect to my Hindu-speaking colleagues, I have learned so much from you).
They are just exploiting the lack of international labor protections, there is nothing new.
