@rickoooooo did you mean my essay? Yes, it's true. So far I am not seeing many people being fired for AI reasons here. But we also have some safety nets. For eg, recently my bro was retrenched and he had six months of wage support from our government. Yes, we have something called EIS which enables us to have six months of wages while we find a new job. @cliffle

@liztai @cliffle the other essay I was referring to was by @Daojoan https://www.joanwestenberg.com/a-soft-landing-manual-for-the-second-gilded-age/ As for AI related layoffs, I have seen reports of this happening in the US but also research that suggests many of these companies are just blaming AI because it makes it look like a positive efficiency thing VS "we are hurting financially". So who knows?
