Iceberg! Iceberg! - Amazon fired 16,000 employees last week.

No wonder Elon Musk wants to put data centers in space!!
Yep, there appears to be a PROBLEM!

It turns out the 16,000 fired Amazonians, Americans whose lives their former employer just upended, were not seasonal warehouse workers or on-the-floor laborers. They were corporate employees. The cuts increased the company’s white-collar firings to 30,000 since October, good for 10% of Amazon’s corporate workforce and the largest axing in its three-decade history.
..... this is by far our preferred option, the president could order the military to blow up the data centers. AI clearly threatens the United States more than Iran, and the few people in Washington who care about regular citizens should stop this project before it becomes too powerful to destroy. Why, exactly, does America need AI? To make rich people even richer? To expand the wealth gap even wider? To twist the knife in the heart of the Middle Class as it desperately gasps for air? AI is fantastic for Wall Street, but it’s terrible for average Americans. The latter should matter more.
As much as we enjoy the idea of mushroom clouds replacing machine learning facilities, we know our vision is unlikely to materialize. Washington’s donor class loves AI, so it is here to stay. Unless the people revolt.
Yep, there appears to be a PROBLEM!

It astounds me people are losing their jobs to something that is artificial. Something that only knows what it has been programmed to know by "who" knows!!
Does not the US Constitution provide clear language regarding the life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness of its people?
Nowhere is AI mentioned.

You should protest AI so it knows how you feel. I’m sure that will help. Paint signs in Microsoft paint so it can see them. That will show those pesky AI invaders.

#1.... "life, liberty and pursuit of happiness" is in the Declaration of Independence, not the Constitution. One is the reasoning for independence and the other is the legal framework. Hard to take this attempt at sounding philosophical and knowledgeable about our founding documents seriously if you get the most basic facts wrong.
I have major questions about who programs the AI but what do questions regarding who programs AI have to do with the declaration of independence?
And plenty of people during history of our country lost their jobs due to cars, tractors, computers and so on. Those are not mentioned in the Dec of Ind or Constitution either.

AI is an Extinction Level Event for several categories of jobs. No way around it.

10% of the workforce ism not out of the realm of efficiency improvements, especially if they haven't cut for awhile.

I believe they had a cut as large in October 2025.
