similar to how Anthropic released Claude 4 shortly after the Sam & Jony announcement.
it's super competitive, which should be good for innovation, but there's also significant incentive to use PR tactics to sell that innovation for much more than it's worth.
Sam's comments about how we're super close to AGI fall flatter-than-ever, after the latest model releases (from all players) and the Apple paper confirming what everybody already knew.
I’m not arguing that laying people off is nearly as hard as getting laid off.
I’m arguing against the idea that if you’re a manager or have money, that moments like this are easy or that there’s no empathy. i’m not saying that anyone should feel bad for directors, CEOs, or whoever, but they shouldn’t paint a ridiculous straw man either.
You could even argue that in Zuck’s position, money is a non-factor. He has more than enough money. What he doesn’t have is a beloved and future-proof company, and these layoffs only push him further from that.
> Large corporations are insane. Every small and medium company would wait to do layoffs until it threatened the business. Some even until after that point
This is super idealized. How many layoffs have been going on in startup land recently?
