After laying off 30,000 corporate employees over the past six months, Amazon has realized the AI replacing jobs narrative is bad optics.

I expect to see more active counter positioning against AI as a job killer as opposition to datacenters and AI adoption increases.

@carnage4life > 30k corporate employees > 11k interns

The maths aren't mathing. That doesn't compensate neither in kind nor in amount.

@lispi314 @carnage4life Aren’t interns often unpaid?

@ramsey @carnage4life One doesn't take an unpaid internship, it's just a scam that shouldn't be legal.

A company that unwilling to invest in the wellbeing of its labor is making its priorities clear.

@lispi314 @carnage4life I agree with you. I’m not saying they shouldn’t be paid. What I’m concerned about is whether Amazon is paying them when they say they’re hiring 11,000 of them.
