Dell Technologies has announced plans to further reduce its headcount despite strong performance in the second quarter of fiscal year 2025. In a recent 10-Q filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, the company stated its commitment to “disciplined cost management” and “ongoing business transformation initiatives,” which include measures such as limiting external hiring and implementing employee reorganizations.

    “But AI isn’t coming for your jobs, we swear!”

    I fully expect companies that are replacing employees with “AI” to soon run into failure. I also hope that those laid off because their bosses determined an “AI” could do their jobs find better jobs and refuse to return to their old positions when they’re inevitably asked to come back.

      AI is not replacing the jobs, CEO greed is. Like you mentioned, this will fail spectacularly.

        In the meantime I will continue tricking the LLMs I find on websites and in phone systems.

        Good point, and I stand corrected. And replace “AI” with “immigrants” and my statement sounds like my uncle at Thanksgiving 🤦‍♂️ Not the vibe or attitude I want to go through life with.

        So yeah, AI’s not stealing jobs but greedy C-levels are giving them away to AI to cut costs for short-term gain.

        Will keep that correction in mind going forward. Thanks.
