At the very least HN needs to downvote these clickbait articles. This is like the 4th I’ve seen this month on here.
There is no evidence the layoffs are at all related to AI, workers are not being replaced by AI and companies aren’t letting people go because they want to build AI products. All the layoffs are because low interest gravy train is now gone and the R&D tax benefits are gone.
- LAC-Tech 3y agoHere's a script I use to strip out low quality discussions from the HN front page: const boringDomains = [ "newyorker.com", "nytimes.com", "economist.com", "wired.co.uk", "bbc.com", "aella.substack.com", "hecolumn.substack.com", "wsj.com", "kqed", "voanews.com", "wusa9.com", "noemamag.com", "arstechnica.com", "independent.co.uk", "axios.com", "southseattleemerald.com", "eff.org", "freep.com", "ft.com" ] Array.from(document.querySelectorAll(".titleline > a")) .filter(elem => boringDomains.some(domain => elem.href.includes(domain))) .map(elem => elem.parentElement.parentElement.parentElement) .flatMap(elem => [elem, elem.nextElementSibling, elem.nextElementSibling.nextElementSibling]) .forEach(elem => elem.remove())
