    Profits must endlessly increase, costs must endlessly reduce, until no one is able to purchase a service anymore on the market, and starvation makes revolution against a tiny class of people who owns literally everything inevitable. Because every capitalist fears that the next capitalist will out do them and demote them to a low ranking worker in the capitalist competition. The daily operation of capitalism writes its own demise, and technology merely exacerbates the existing social relations.

    Cloudflare has revealed it will farewell 1,100 staff, due to its current and future use of AI.

    In a blog post that oozes Orwellian “doublespeak”

    …this entire article’s premise is based on the “doublespeak,” though? You are literally pumping AI fear and hype based on a company’s blog article because it benefits you.

    This is a plain old layoff, just like all the others. CNBC talked about it last October. The LA Times talked about it in March of this year.

    It’s not hard to understand if you don’t benefit from AI rage bait like The Register does.

    Hack “journalists” like this are the reason the AI hype won’t go away. He’s too stupid to read between the lines or understand that he’s a huge part of the problem.

    The Cloudflare CEO even contradicts the “it’s AI, I’m telling you” narrative, right in the same article:

    “We have seen that there are roles at Cloudflare that are not the roles we need for the future,” Prince responded. “Just because you are fit does not mean you cannot get fitter. Over the last six months especially, the productivity gains from the people directly talking to customers and directly creating code have been incredible, and a lot of the support roles behind them are not going to be the roles that drive companies going forward.”

    Doesn’t matter though, The Register can squeeze another AI layoff article in there to get people riled up!
