Did AI really take their jobs?
As big tech companies sack staff and say AI will pick up the slack, workers are left to grapple with what's really going on.Julian Fell (ABC News)

Many companies over-hired as a type of skills hoarding.
I had never thought this was a "thing" - but perhaps my middle daughter was a "victim". A few years ago her first job out of college was with Oracle, in the marketing department. I had a few conversations with her about what she was doing. She said that she was working with a team doing "direct" marketing - but from what I could gather there was little actual work going on, and the few phone calls that were made were superficial and even rather perfunctory. She left the job after about 6 months out of shear boredom.

"Don’t tell me or it won’t happen."
I just turned one of those bold, round numbers that invites metaphysical thoughts about Time. Waking up at forty, I find myself in a body that feels healthy. From here, the past doesn’t look effortless: waking at six, workouts, repetitions, injuries, recoveries. But it does feel contingent. Perhaps a future version of me wished it so. Maybe a wish is not something that happens in the future, but something that selects a past.
Not an injection of energy, but a constraint on what histories are allowed, a pressure that filters the trajectories that can lead to this moment. There has to be a sequence of events that leads to the arrangement of me now. Perhaps this is the only history that survives the constraint of a wish I would one day impose: that I be well.
If so, thanks.

Meta perdió 77.000 millones USD en el metaverso (~PIB de Uruguay) antes de aceptar que nadie lo quería. Los luditas del siglo XIX no odiaban las máquinas: rechazaban su implantación sin debate, que destruía empleos y comunidades. Hoy OpenAI pierde 7.800 millones y no espera beneficios hasta 2030, pero nos venden un futuro "inevitable".

A bit concerning for the company how much of the reasons were related to Fortnight. It can't be healthy to put almost all of your money on one pony.
Secondarily, lowering wages and raising cost of living is leading to well-known results. It's just, that, well...
So 20% of the company laid off.
meh...just another shitty billionaire doing shitty billionaire things.
what did you expect from him? To *not* suck people dry and throw them away?
Stop being surprised at this stuff. Maybe don't play billionaire's games instead. Then you can just skip the "betrayal and anger" bit when they fuck their employees over. Again. And again.

Meanwhile System76 has actively pushed back against age verification laws and may have an exemption lined up in Colorado and is nowhere in this image.

in reply to It's FOSS • • •Your post is very misleading.
E.g., Garuda Linux has stated on March 9th they »will continue to comply with local regulations in Finland and Germany (where the servers are hosted and the donation funds are held)«, so their "resistance" is strictly limited to Californian law, not to OS-level age verification, per se.
MidnighBSD has already announced on March 9th »We've implemented about 1/3 of the california/colorado/illinois law.«
Please verify your statements, and retract this post.

in reply to It's FOSS • • •I'm still completely in shock that one person in systemd has decided arbitrarily to do this, is just pushing PRs through all over the place, and pretty much only has Claude to decide whether or not to approve them. Any opposition gets silenced with the threads just being closed because they're too inconvenient to moderate even though this is a really really big decision that affects... practically everything Linux...
Honestly, systemd was already way out of scope. It's pretty much universally hated and it keeps taking it upon itself to do various things it shouldn't (like adding DNS handling for some reason. Why does something whose only purpose is to handle init and service starting/stopping running its own DNS handling?)
Time for systemd to go.
