This was bound to happen. Those who cling to old ways will perish. The real deal is how AI will change or influence your work. If you want to earn the same salary at the same location, you need to deliver value at a level several notches from where you are currently operating. It will be extremely hard to do so but that’s the reality. Those who know this will survive. The rest will keep crying on social media.

Tech Layoff Tracker
Tech Layoff Tracker@TechLayoffLover·
Mumbai and Bangalore outsourcing firms are scaling like I've never seen Infosys added 47,000 engineers in the last 9 months. TCS hiring 2,100 per week. Wipro opened 8 new delivery centers since January. American companies discovered something: Senior engineer in Austin making $180k can be replaced by two L4s in Hyderabad making $18k each plus AI tooling The quality gap closed overnight. Indian teams with Cursor and Claude are shipping features indistinguishable from SF teams at 85% cost savings Accenture's Bangalore office went from 12,000 to 31,000 headcount while their US operations dropped 6,200 people The arbitrage is insane. American mid-level making $140k replaced by Indian senior making $28k who's more productive because they actually use the AI tools instead of complaining about them Cognizant told their US clients: "Same deliverables, same timelines, 70% cost reduction" and enterprise buyers said yes to everything One Fortune 500 moved their entire platform engineering team offshore in October. 23 American engineers averaging $165k replaced by 31 Indian engineers averaging $24k The Indian teams are hungrier. They're learning the AI tools faster. They're not bitter about "being replaced by robots" - they're using the robots to replace American engineers HCL hired 15,000 people in Q3 alone specifically for "AI-augmented development" contracts American engineers spent two years debating whether Copilot would make them obsolete Indian engineers spent two years mastering Copilot to make American engineers obsolete

Sam Altman was fired by his own board. His co-founder Ilya left. His top researchers left to start Anthropic. His head of alignment quit. He dissolved the safety team and its replacement. He converted a nonprofit into an $850B for-profit. He removed 'safely' from the mission statement. His employees begged him to stand with Anthropic. He said he would. That night he took the deal they refused. Then announced it on X like a victory lap. And you still think this man is building AI for humanity?

Question of the day. The jews for decades pushed for war on Iran. The jews pressured Clinton, Bush, Obama, and Biden. They refused due to political suicide. Why then did Trump cave?

IQ is important and it's also 100% genetic. You could spend trillions of dollars trying to improve the IQ of a group of people and get 0 results. And we did! That's exactly what we did.

PewDiePie recently trained his own AI model at home and got it to score 39.1% on a benchmark, beating ChatGPT and several other leading models on that specific test. The whole thing started as a personal learning project.

Sam Altman@sama·
Tonight, we reached an agreement with the Department of War to deploy our models in their classified network. In all of our interactions, the DoW displayed a deep respect for safety and a desire to partner to achieve the best possible outcome. AI safety and wide distribution of benefits are the core of our mission. Two of our most important safety principles are prohibitions on domestic mass surveillance and human responsibility for the use of force, including for autonomous weapon systems. The DoW agrees with these principles, reflects them in law and policy, and we put them into our agreement. We also will build technical safeguards to ensure our models behave as they should, which the DoW also wanted. We will deploy FDEs to help with our models and to ensure their safety, we will deploy on cloud networks only. We are asking the DoW to offer these same terms to all AI companies, which in our opinion we think everyone should be willing to accept. We have expressed our strong desire to see things de-escalate away from legal and governmental actions and towards reasonable agreements. We remain committed to serve all of humanity as best we can. The world is a complicated, messy, and sometimes dangerous place.

@Muskstaycalm @VVFriedman He is unreal short in real life. I've been next to him once in Redwood City, 5'4"-5'5", tiny manlet. And he has ex-IDF goons bodyguarding him. Total SDE and shortman syndrome. He enjoys doing evil to the world as "payback"
