I wouldn’t be surprised if AI is used as the excuse for employers to fire all the worthless DEI hires they brought in to satisfy Brandon’s regulations and the ESG rankings that state pension fund managers were looking for (big investment money).
My next-door neighbor is a software engineer for Amazon. They are always announcing job cuts because of AI, so I asked him if he was concerned. He said that all the AI generated crap code without good documentation, has made his job more secure, because a lot of it does not work as intended. And it takes someone with actual skill set to try and fix the problems created.
Agree DEI damage doesn’t come cheap.
