Loans to build data centers have stopped (red flag anyone?) so in order to pay for them they have to lay off workers. AI is killing jobs, it’s just not replacing them.
Companies are salivating at the prospect of replacing their loyal employees with AI. And it’s telling that they don’t even feel they have to pretend to care about workers…
Amazon isn’t replacing those workers with AI, instead they’ve been approved for roughly that number of H-1B Visas, in fact 33,181 exactly.
This sort of news just promotes the scam that is AI and distracts from real news, imo.
Yeah? They were slammed? slammed? Shitty journalism.
I hope Amazon corporate starts unionizing. Amazon deserves it.
Come here just to comment on the slam. Looks like you have to covered though.
Slam dunk!
So slammed dude!
I’ve seen softcore porn with more slamming than anything the media has done to Amazon.
They laid off the people to free up money to build the data centers. This is what a lot of companies mean when they say they laid people off because of AI. It’s not because the AI did their jobs.
Someone needs to make “slam” a synonym for “unionize”.
Haven’t seen ‘slam’ for a hot minute.
I’m seeing a lot of it in the comments!
A unionized Amazon R&D could be world-changing. Not only workers would take a lot of money from Jeff, but the power to shutdown a third of the world’s cloud infrastructure, including gov’t cloud infra is quite a bit more significant that what many other unions wield.
Oh, shit! Amazon got slammed! What are they going to do now?
SLAM
Oh Snap! Y’all got slammed, son!
SLAM!
