Thread regarding Intel Corp. layoffs

The Age of AI Layoffs: A 20-Point Summary

  1. AI-related layoffs are accelerating across industries, affecting knowledge workers from entry-level to leadership roles.
  1. Simplice Fosso, a Head of Security Operations, lost his job after his team's threat detection duties were automated.
  1. At first, companies talked about “upskilling analysts,” but shifted to “efficiency gains” before cutting jobs.
  1. Fosso said: “I oscillated between relief and self-doubt… a wake-up call to pivot.”
  1. Companies like Microsoft, Duolingo, Walmart, and Accenture are reducing headcount due to AI efficiencies.
  1. Many layoffs aren’t publicized — they're happening quietly via unposted jobs and silent Slack channels.
  1. Roles like copywriters, web designers, and even some executive positions are being cut or frozen.
  1. Behavioral scientist Sekoul Krastev said AI layoffs feel worse than human replacement:
“You’re being replaced by something better… in a way that you can’t achieve.”
  1. AI advances are outpacing workers’ ability to adapt:
“It’s a lot more difficult to compete with something evolving so quickly.”
  1. Being replaced by AI causes deeper emotional discomfort than being replaced by another person.
  1. Anne Glaberson, a 20-year tech veteran at GoDaddy, was laid off despite strong performance metrics.
  1. She said, “You think it won’t affect you. But it did.”
  1. The reorg disproportionately affected women and older employees, she noted.
  1. The decision came abruptly: “I just got pulled into a call with the president… am I getting laid off?”
  1. Glaberson described the market as “absolutely flooded” with low-paying jobs:

> “A recipe for poverty and misery.”

  1. She later founded a startup focused on AI — reflecting a trend of laid-off workers pivoting into AI roles.
  1. Mark Quinn, laid off from a healthcare tech company, retrained himself with GPT tools.
  1. He built “Job Hunt GPT” to rewrite his resume and prep for interviews, which helped land his next job.
  1. Quinn now uses AI for everything from work to bedtime stories:

> “It’s not a box. It’s a collaborator.”

  1. A data scientist recognized a laid-off worker they helped automate — now delivering food:
“Once you’ve had DoorDash delivered by someone whose job you helped eliminate… feels bad, man.”

That article by Microsoft (LOL) is called conditioning. You're being prepped for serfdom. It's about to become known that the globalist billionaires own it all and that they don't give a cr-p about anyone outside their class.

Another AI bullsh-t. Wait until AI can automatically drive us into graveyard then we are really scared.

"Simplice Fosso, a Head of Security Operations, lost his job after his team's threat detection duties were automated."

His team's threat detection duties should have been automated long before AI was even a buzzword. Dude deserved to lose his job.

@ae ... @a7's comments have been posted on this site a quite a bit and probably by the same person. It is an extreme example that won't be achieved. Innovation and technology have disrupted the norm again and again over time. This has included such basic things as electricity, steam engines, automobiles, assembly lines, air travel, personal computers, cell phone, the Internet... just to name a few. Now it is AI and soon to be followed by humanoid robots. Society adjusts and life goes on. It will be no different this time around regardless of what the naysayers proclaim.

Who cares about an economy when you own everything and can enforce with robots?

Fauci helped create HIV to eliminate the developing world, and pulled the same stunt three decades later with COVID to hollow out across the board.

If they don’t get you with a disease, you’re going to live in an outdoor jail that will make Gaza look like Disneyland. Better to take the disease and check out.

No paid employees = No consumers. No Consumers = No economy.
In the corporate struggle to make more money cheaper they are going to: "Fu-k around and find out"

Let’s all listen to the guy whose attention span isn’t long enough to read what amounts to a short article @a1

What could go wrong?

That's too long. Whatever prompt you're using, I can rewrite that for you only 18 words using AI:

Computers are taking some jobs away, but they're also helping create new ones where people work alongside machines.
