>"All the tech layoffs are because AI is like ‘corporate Ozempic’—it trims the fat and you keep the fact you’re using it a secret, says marketing guru Scott Galloway"
is it over?

I guess we'll never know
its a good excuse to cut amerifats who are overpaid, move all the jobs to eastern europe and get 5 people from the price of 1 yank
what happens when 80% of your new hires die of kratom OD?
Why pay slavs when you can pay street shitters half the money to do the needful?
Because they don't do the needful.
> stoic grim no nonsense demeanor
> succinct communication
slavs are more pleasant to work with than coom brain jeets
eastern bloc misery means they don't have delusions of grandeur like prima donna first world coders
cause they do less than half the work
>Why pay slavs when you can pay street shitters half the money to do the needful?
So you can leer at 10/10 slavic qts on zoom calls
>schizo theories
It's happening because of outsourcing.
>like 'corporate Ozempic'
hilariously moronic, they only use this oddly specific reference for analogy because it's a 'hot' thing, signaling how well informed they are
and a half assed explanation why it is fitting, as if anyone could believe that the reference to this specific 'hot' thing is justified
They are warning people that the company is going to get destroyed, silly
they're trying to destroy AI, that much is certain
whether it's retaliatory or not remains to be seen
I'm on the panel for an internal AI SIG at a very large tech company that did layoffs recently. There was zero internal use of AI and it was expressly forbidden for anyone to use; domains blocked, application whitelisting etc.
>There was zero internal use of AI and it was expressly forbidden for anyone to use
I work for a major IT consulting firm and this is the case for both ourselves and all of our clients. Any company of any significant size has legal departments putting big huge DO NOT USE stamps on anything Generative-AI-related, especially while the NYT case is on-going. Even disregarding current lawsuits, legal departments do not trust AI companies to handle confidential information as well as they legally need to, and that's not something OpenAI or whoever can handwave and go "don't worry about it, if anything happens we'll take care of it". The data privacy question is much, much more important for enterprises than copyright kerfuffles.
Everybody talking about AI replacing jobs has not seen all the hilarious headlines of companies that have actually let AI replace jobs. It is in no way, shape or form ready for widespread rollout.
Our department has MS corporate accounts or whatever that supposedly dont record anything but were warned that we are still responsible for anything that we produce even if it was through AI
Which is still insane because our department has access to personal record of tens of millions of people
>that supposedly dont record anything
Yeah that's what we have too, legal still said not to touch it because like you said, the liability chain isn't established yet (and good luck suing Microsoft) and nobody wants to be the first company (or employee) to FAFO.

>seriously guuyyyys this time the programming jobs are really going away FOR REALZ
Yes, but it doesn't have much to do with AI. It was already over because nearly all nutech is wildly unprofitable. AI was just a little hype meme to finish the ride.
seriously guys this time the programming jobs are really going away for real
damn now I wanna get on ozempic. Where can I get this?
Bad analogy since ozenpic makes your bowels stop and kill you. Or good analogy maybe.
wtf is this shit?
even after laying off these gays are begging pennies for shitty articles.
What a bizarre pricing scheme. That $1 for a month trial surely only exists to siphon money from boomers that forget to cancel it.
>30 bucks for month for shitty opinions in text form
but actual streamed television is half that
LE HECKIN AI REPLACED MY JOB, ITS OVER BOTSISTERS
If AI productivity leads to layoffs they sound smart.
If they had hired bunch of useless fricks that did no productive work that would mean they are moronic.
humans will become worthless
>what the frick is an Ozempic?
>google it
>it's a drug I'm not American enough to know
Cringier than the food analogy: obesity analogy.
