Love this because I call BS on most "We've let go 1,000 employees due to AI".
For example, I just saw Pinterest say they let go of a large part of their workforce because of AI, but in reality, their new CEO has BUTCHERED the app. It's practically unusable.
More and more companies seem to be screwing up, and instead of saying "we screwed up," it's a lot better to say "we've replaced these people with AI!"
