Jobs are being cut in #tech.
Not in factories—but in offices.
And not just junior roles, but even coders and AI researchers.
The irony? They’re building the very tech that could replace them.
At #GoogleDeepMind in London, a group of developers and researchers decided to push back. Not for higher salaries—but for ethics.
They’re protesting against the sale of military tech to Israel’s Ministry of Defense.
Right as #Google quietly updated its internal rules, removing the ban on creating tools that can cause harm.
That’s how responsibility gets rewritten—one policy update at a time.
But the problem runs deeper.
On one side, the promises of #AI are deflating.
On the other, companies are using the AI hype to justify layoffs.
Truth is, large language models aren’t revolutionizing work. Productivity gains are minor. And most of the time saved gets filled with new tasks… created just to manage AI.
Like teachers who now have to figure out if an essay was written by #ChatGPT.
Or office workers fixing text generated by machines.
And still—people get cut.
#Duolingo went “AI-first” and started by letting go of dozens of staff: translators, writers, creatives who helped shape the app’s voice.
Many were quietly dismissed months ago. Because saying it out loud feels embarrassing.
One former contributor said the internal AI couldn’t even write a lesson by itself.
They got laid off anyway.
It’s not an isolated case.
Voice actors in the U.S. have been on strike for months.
#Illustrators and #designers are losing gigs.
#Polygon, a well-known gaming site, laid off much of its team after being bought by a content farm that uses AI-generated articles.
In the U.S., many recent grads are struggling to find jobs.
One of the reasons? #AI isn’t better than humans—just cheaper.
The issue isn’t the tech itself.
It’s the people deciding how to use it.
And those choices are less about innovation and more about cutting costs, shrinking teams, and increasing control.
Meanwhile, even the tech world is crumbling.
The one that once seemed solid, safe, and “ahead of the curve.”
Many of these cuts have nothing to do with real financial trouble.
They’re about riding the #AI narrative.
Wouldn’t want to be a new grad right now 🙁
This isn’t just about jobs.
It’s political.
Deeply political.
