BUT AT WHAT COST?!?! porky-point

I recall there has been suggestions that a large amount of AI layoffs weren't AI layoffs at all, but an excuse for companies to dump large amount of already unnecessary workers and cut costs that way. Without it seeming like they were just doing mass layoffs, because that would negatively affect the stock price.
