how can that "limit the layoff carnage"? Were "AI startups" the ones who were doing the layoffs? what a nonsensical piece of text
- pgeorgi 3y agoMaybe: "AI startups raised billions of dollars" => "The megacorps had to jump into that market, relatively unprepared, to avoid surprises down the road" => "The megacorps couldn't pull through with even more layoffs because they need the flexibility to redirect folks to wherever the AI boom leads while keeping their established business afloat"
- twelve40 3y agoHave you observed significant numbers of tech people redirected to wherever the AI boom leads? i haven't. And the article is certain not to give you any numbers for that, aside from hand-wavy, unsourced, non-quantified "newfound AI startups billions save people from layoffs"
