Well they also don’t have the balls to admit it’s due to this administrations policies. American corporations are and always have been exclusively out for themselves

The layoffs are all based on a small change to the tax code a few years ago regarding R&D taxation rules – it has nothing to do with AI. Yes they are hiding behind AI.

i am sure there are a bunch of reasons, but underpinning this is that technology’s only moat is the cost of expertise to code which is solved with a $200 a month Antropic membership, throw in a pedo rapist cabal headed by a cheetoh faced convicted rapist leading the economy and pissing off nations much smarter than us, if i was a gambling man I would be buying microsoft puts and all other EU heavy line item revenue on the balance sheet companies

I’ve been saying this all along, mostly layoffs are seen as a bad thing and reflect poor leadership. But with AI, now it seems like layoffs are a Hallmark of skill in management by consolidating positions, and given the option of looking like you’re barely treading water in the trump economy or looking like you’re using AI to trim the fat it’s a no brainer what people will choose.
