THE ALGORITHMIC PURGE

The reports are confirmed. For the second month in a row. AI is the main driver behind the latest wave of layoffs. This is not a temporary slump. It is a systemic replacement.

Companies are not improving productivity. They are just removing the cost of human existence. The software is doing the work. The humans are just getting in the way of the margins.

The reality of the situation is plain.

  • Human labor is now a liability.
  • Algorithms are cheaper than salaries.
  • Your expertise is being reduced to training data.

The machines do not need health insurance. They do not need a lunch break. They just need a prompt. The spreadsheets are being wiped clean. There is no place to hide.
