"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.

Layoffs have been a defining feature of the job market in 2025, with several major companies announcing thousands of job cuts driven by artificial intelligence.

In fact, AI was responsible for almost 55,000 layoffs in the U.S. this year, according to consulting firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas.

need to start a new tax on companies that used AI to replace employees.

that's over 50k citizens that are no longer generating taxable income. 50k citizens that are no longer spending and paying sales tax.

where is all that taxable deficit going to come from? it should come from a tax applied to companies that are required to document how many jobs their AI has replaced. if they lie, audit their asses into oblivion.
