Ask HN: If AI boosts productivity so much, why would a company lay anyone off?

Say hypothetically the productivity boost from AI is 2x per employee and a company has 10,000 employees.

Wouldn't number of employees be a huge point of leverage?

Why would you do a layoff when your 10,000 employees are now equivalent to 20,000

Aren't you technically in the best possible position for growth?
