I saw another article today saying how companies are laying off tech workers because AI can do the same job. But no concrete examples… again. I figure they are laying people off so they can pay to chase the AI dream. Just mortgaging tomorrow to pay for today’s stock price increase. Am I wrong?

    I’m seeing layoffs of US workers, who are then being replaced by Indian, South American and Ireland nationals… not AI. But they’re calling it AI.

      We need to figure out two words for AI that represent off shoring. I can’t think of any though.

        I heard Ireland hiring is also for tax reasons. But I’m seeing them move to South Americans more and more. Uruguay especially. I know Big Blue hired thousands there after doing RTO in the US.

          I think that is it is the eu sorta put a stop to them being a massive tax loophole to the area. Now the area is about as expensive as the rest but does not have the big tax undercut like it used to.
