I absolutely hate the script companies are using to lay people off in 2026 It’s bullshit and hurts America I’m not picking on Cloudflare here. Every company that has announced layoffs the last 6 months has used this script: “Business is great! We’ve never been more rich! We have so much money we have no idea what to do with it! But AI man, that shit is crazy! Sorry 14% of the company has to go!” They take 0 accountability for poor decisions made. They take 0 accountability for not being prepared for competitors or market conditions. They just blame it all on AI 80% of Americans hate AI and this is the reason. They see CEOs of AI companies saying the world is ending. They see CEOs of regular companies laying everyone off and purely blaming AI If you weren’t as familiar with AI, you’d think it was the worst invention ever This is why every state has people standing outside of data centers protesting, and they don’t even know what a data center is! We have a MAJOR marketing problem in America when it comes to AI, and if this script all of these companies are using continues we’ll have no shot of beating China
