Ok what's the practical difference? The layoffs are still happening.

If "the latter hypothesis" of parent commenter was that "AI will replace ~80% of white-collar jobs", then that hypothesis clearly not supported by the current layoffs. AI isn't replacing workers, AI just happens to be an easy excuse for it. Could as well have been "COVID" or "tariffs" or "the economy" or "the end of Zero interest-rate policy"

Why not? I have literally got several first hand examples where people are fired because of how good the AI models became. Why do you find that questionable?

Intriguing. You should notify Narayanan and Kapoor so they can update their post with your counter-example :)

I don't even know who those guys are. I am simply sharing my experience.
