Another massive job cuts due to AI. Get ready for more outrages as these companies are adopting AI to write code and push to productions. Can any human review 5000 PRs per day? Noop. They are just gonna rubber stamp it.

cloudflare has always leaned heavily into lots of automation that cuts staff numbers but isn't necessarily easy/fast to fix. they are much more concerned with recurring revenue than availability (or the cleanliness of their clients...).

i'm hoping there is a karmic correction coming, where the companies most willing to sacrifice their staff to the god of AI are the ones with the biggest messes and losses, and longest recovery exactly because they got rid of senior staff.

Does that mean A prioritises B over C?

They are prioritizing AI over humans.

Think on it.

I know I'm a saucy-mother-fucker but I'd like it if we'd spend a few more words to makes these headlines _more_ honest.

"... as AI used as excuse to reduce payroll costs and pass on uncertainty to customers..."

👀

You see what I'm getting at, yeah?

And I used to think the cyberpunk thing of being able to hack into anything at a whim was a fever dream.
