That was my first thought as well, until I read that they meant Microsoft's over-investment in AI led to the push. Much more believable.

    I had the same realization after posting, but left it as is cuz it's still not the AI driving the push for efficiency, it's the bullshit firings. AI is being used as a scapegoat - it's the malicious management that's culpable.
