Zuck's AI Obsession - Costing Us Our Jobs?

So, another wave of layoffs just hit, 8,000 this time. And the narrative is all about Mark pouring billions into AI. It really makes you wonder if we're just collateral damage in his grand AI vision. The timing is suspect, especially with all the noise about AI playing a role in these decisions. It feels like a lot of us are being sacrificed to fuel this AI ambition, while the very top brass probably gets their bonuses for hitting some abstract AI milestone. I've heard whispers that some of the folks let go were in areas that weren't directly AI-related, but maybe they weren't deemed 'critical' enough for the new direction. It’s a tough pill to swallow when you've been a loyal employee, put in the work, and then you're deemed expendable because the company wants to pivot harder into something else. It's not just about the job loss itself, but the feeling of being a pawn in a much larger, and frankly, very expensive, game. Anyone else feel like their team or their role was on the chopping block purely because it didn't align with the AI push?
