The detail that makes worker testimony the right lens here: "AI did it" isn't only cover for the cut, it's a signal to investors that the company is lean and AI-pilled. So the incentive to credit AI for a layoff exists whether or not AI actually drove it. Which makes the corporate memo the least reliable account of what happened, and the people who were in the room the most.
Any chance of a transcript?
