"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

The AI Layoff Bill Is Coming Due, And CTOs Are Going To Pay It Twice (www.forbes.com)

The uncomfortable part of all this is that it is not a technology problem. It is a leadership problem. AI does not make bad executives worse. It gives them a faster way to prove they are bad. The leaders still standing in 2030 will be the ones honest enough to put the rehiring cost in the business case before the ink dries on the layoff letter.

Forbes is always willing to spout transparently fictional business ideology and so often just delusional. It's really hard to tell when they're drinking the koolaid and when they're just selling it.

In business, leaders don't disappear for making objectively terrible decisions and no company is ever going to consider firing employees a bad move. If rehiring is needed it'll be at lower salaries because of a larger job-seeker pool due to all the firings.

Everyone will agree they all did the right thing and bonuses will be unaffected.
