If they can't forecast demand or headcount they should be replaced by confident sounding AI.

Neither was her husband iirc.

Layoffs are usually across teams not "illustrators and translators".

AI isn't killing jobs.

Zuckerbergs 8 billion dollar VR metaverse flop has something to do with this maybe?

Last time I checked AI isn't killing jobs if the other news is to be believed.

That includes a Henry County police officer who was fired and arrested last week following an investigation into his access of the Flock network, authorities there said.

If the dupe market isn't doing it the wonks inside are busy selling off the brand name as fast as they can.

In its pejorative form, it often means a group that engages in exploitation of its members usually for the exclusive benefit of a single living member/leader.

That said, many ideas set the stage for unquestioning group think and personal adulation needed for an exploitative cult to emerge.

Given that these groups exist all over and seem to arise spontaneously in similar form I'd say its more a case of the leaders bent to exploit than the lack of a book of methods that is critical.

A pyromaniac and fireman read a book on fire science for very different ends. The book isn't the problem.
