There's layoffs, certainly.

But all the economic indicators suggest those are "bad economy" layoffs dressed up as "AI" layoffs to keep the shareholders happy.

The real “AI layoffs” are all the people that are PIPed because their colleagues are better at leveraging AI.

We must have a very different view of the world because in my neck of the woods companies are desperate for senior talent. And it's become even harder to find seniors now that everyone has access to a machine that can create the appearance of experience.

> The next level of layoffs is probably still 25 years out.

Hasn't even been 25 years years since the previous layoffs before the current ones.
