If it was just Marc Benioff preaching then it would indeed not deserve much attention. However, most big companies at this point have internal roadmap to reduce workforce by large amounts.

Is this really because if AI or is it because of economic hardships ?

I’m just one consumer but due to inflation my spending is down massively. Also because of all the doom predictions. I’m saving way more money.

I’m sure this is slowing things down and as I said, because of the piece of eggs , I’m can’t be the only one spending less.

If you look at reality. Companies at the top of the revenue pyramid just don’t pay enough tax, and it’s borked everything.

I'm not saying I necessarily doubt this, but how do you know what the internal roadmaps of "most" big companies are?

only if they over hired during ZIRP. AI is just an excuse
