Hasn't the sector been aggressively laying off for the past 6 months? I mean, there have been many many many posts about it here.

you have confused "tech company layoffs" with "tech worker layoffs"
Alot of Tech companies have been laying off alot of support staff in HR, Recruitment, Sales, and other business functions
and yes some Technical roles as well, but dont think because you see "Google Lays of X,000 employees" means they just laid off that many AI Researchers, programmers, etc...
So they just need to hire some Gen Z [1], not to actually make AI technology but to make "good vibes"

>>I think you can assume that there's a large pool of talent
Why would we assume that? Every company in the US currently is complaining endlessly about the lack of talent, in IT especially I see posts from hiring managers being unable to find tech talent, and the fact that several companies are making very aggressive plays at getting OpenAI worker right now tells me there is not infact a "large pool of talent" that will just back fill all of these roles.
