Can't help but notice the trend of tech companies shaving employees at an accelerating pace.

Nobody wants to admit this (and there's a lot of reasons it could be temporary factors like "overhiring"), but to me this seems primarily if not exclusively driven by AI. You just can't say that to HR.

The bigger question is if this keeps accelerating, can the industry and broader economy handle so many jobs disappearing, so fast?
