    1. So they hope it might create efficiencies. But in reality, they can’t afford the staff and the data centers at the same time.

      I feel like a lot of these companies had some poor business planning around AI. They went all in on it but underestimated the cost and speed of development.

      I was laid off last month (@Meta on an AI related project)…we literally JUST had layoffs. This is wild…but there was definitely that weird aura that everything around was falling apart

    4. I have friends who were just hired there after
      Months of job hunting. What is the point of not enacting a hiring freeze if you’re just going to lay people off.

      > If Meta settles on the 20% figure, the layoffs will be the company’s most ​significant since a restructuring in late 2022 and early 2023 that it dubbed the „year of efficiency.“ It employed nearly 79,000 people as ​of December 31, according to its latest filing.

      > The company laid off 11,000 staffers in November 2022, or around 13% of its workforce at the time. Around four months later, it announced it was cutting another 10,000 jobs.

      Just more „efficiency“, nothing to see here. /s

    6. Article mentions Amazon as an example of layoffs due to AI but just a couple days ago Amazon said they were reviewing their AI use and that junior/mid level software engineers would need seniors approval before merging AI generated changes. This of course follows a series of outages across their services.

      If they need to raise money they could start selling all the hardware they’ve been hoarding.

    8. About to be a lot of “ex meta” people in LinkedIn, like that’s some badge of honor anyway.

    9. AI is the next “metaverse” but they managed to get every tech company to bet it all.
