Description

Nearly a hundred thousand corporate employees have been terminated in mass layoffs this year. Most just in the past few months. And ostensibly because of AI.

Our scheduled guest was unexpectedly unavailable (and in case you're worried, we can confirm that he was not replaced by AI), so in this episode, John and Mark discuss these recent events and some of what the future holds. Maybe this batch wasn't totally due to AI, but it's coming.









We are also excited about our partnership with DATAVERSITY. Use discount code ROCK15 to get 15% off your first purchase at DATAVERSITY:
