IBM and execs are full of shit and say that because they want other company execs to buy their AI products. They will lay people off because they cost money. No other reason.

I know. Seeing the hype reach and rattle executives is always kind of funny.

That’s the same thing. AI is cheaper, hence you lay people off because they cost more.

When IBM lays people off they just demand the team do the same work with fewer people.
