What's with all the tech layoffs? - eviltoast

Every day there’s more big job cuts at tech and games companies. I’ve not seen anything explaining why they all seam to be at once like this. Is it coincidence or is there something driving all the job cuts?

      Yep as far as most companies should be concerned, using something like CoPilot means giving free license to Microsoft to all your trade secrets and code that you input.

      We had the same. And you would have thought for a heavily regulated industry we’d keep it that way.

      But no, some executive wonk from Microsoft flew over, gave our c-suite a “it’s safe, promise” chat over champagne and lobster, and now we’re happily using copilot.
