🎙️ EP 196: Did AI Really Take Your Job Or Just the Blame?
A.I. is being blamed for tens of thousands of job cuts but what if it’s all just a cover story? In this episode, we break down the rise of “A.I.-washing”, where companies use buzzwords to justify layoffs… even when the bots aren’t actually ready to replace people. Plus, some wild updates from Claude, Google, and a creepy AI social network.
We’ll talk about:
- Why Amazon, HP, and Pinterest are cutting jobs in the name of AI (but might not be telling the full truth)
- A new term, “A.I.-washing”, and why it’s becoming the go-to excuse for layoffs
- Google’s ATLAS study that just cracked the code on how to train models in 400+ languages
- A new workflow to finally fix your “AI-ish” video outputs and make them look like real cinema
Keywords: AI layoffs, AI-washing, Claude, Google ATLAS, Moltbook, Prompt Engineering, AI job market
