Fidji Simo blogs about companies that use AI to do more, not to downsize:

Organizations that approach AI as a way to multiply what they create will be so much more successful than those that use it to subtract.

Layoffs make no sense to me for already-successful companies. Layoffs are the mindset of private equity, squeezing out more profit instead of improving the product. Companies that prioritize layoffs will find themselves lapped by the competition.
