We are officially at the denial stage of this developing economic disaster.
At least they already fired everybody, in anticipation of their wild AI success. Hopefully, some of these companies will pivot, and figure out how to actually survive, and they'll have to hire a lot of people to replace their AI.
A lot of the "AI" layoffs were using it as a plausible excuse for layoffs they wanted to do anyway. So I don't anticipate a lot of them coming back.
