IBM bucks AI-fueled layoff trend, triples entry-level hiring for 2026. How long until the CEO FOMO has Wells (and the rest of Wall St.) start hiring again?

It's obvious nobody here looked up the actual news. IBM said AI is fine and all, but work still requires a human touch. They are literally valuing the human aspect despite AI's capabilities, not for training purposes.
Clearly critical thinking skills reflect the reduced IQ of this generation. IBM is doing something Schart is incapable of: thinking ahead and executing.
By the time IBM finishes its hiring of entry-levels at a fraction of the cost of experienced employees, AI will have been taught everything the experienced workers know. Big Blue will then have a very smart AI to hold the hands of its new employees and get all the benefits at a fraction of the cost.
One trick pony CEO. Nothing changes until he goes
Laying off 20 year veterans for fresh meat out of college? Might as well hire in India.
Bunch of wa-kers at this bank. I don't know why I took this job.
Shart will not hire in the US. Overseas maybe, everything domestic is on a glide path to zero.
