AI remains top reason excuse for US job cuts for third straight month as employers axed 97,000 workers in May


Not at all.
A law that isn’t enforceable or actually enforced is stupid.
This is in my opinion a good example of a stupid law.


Yeah, that’ll work.
Edit: Truth in advertising … there’s a novel concept.


We need this in Esperanto and the lost languages of Lutruwita.


So, in UQL?


You don’t need to shout!

US tech industry cut 123,653 jobs since January 2026, up 66% from last year during the same period — AI now the most cited reason excuse for cuts by US employers: report
My experience with this is receiving emails with “we will not proceed with your application” and absolutely no indication what or why, for positions that I’m uniquely qualified for.
I’m still looking, don’t use Assumed Intelligence, and want to work, but it’s not going well.
I suspect that your needs for human written applications is being thwarted by bots filtering your applicants before you even see them.

I can’t decide if this is real or an advertisement for the linked article service. I don’t see any CVE in the article which seems to be a good indication of the quality of the content.

Scott Manley has a couple of things to say about the fallout. It’s not good.


With a little luck it will experience a “Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly” before the IPO 😁


I want to make sure that the schmucks who financed this abomination in the first place pay dearly for it, rather than fleecing the subsequent hapless small investors and the rest of society who don’t understand and will buy into the hype.


Can we please have the bubble burst before the IPO?
Just like every website has a cookie alert. Meaningless, annoying and extra work for everyone.
