In the future, will artificial intelligence (AI) bring a GDP miracle or the disintegration of social order?
Last week, the “Godfather of AI” Hinton stated bluntly that tech billionaires are genuinely betting on AI replacing large amounts of human labor, which will lead to the complete collapse of society!
Recently, an anonymous source from Amazon protested:
The current generation of AI has almost become an addictive drug for tech giants like Amazon— They use AI as an excuse to lay off employees, investing the saved funds into data centers for AI products that no one pays for.
An open letter signed by over 1,000 Amazon employees warned that this reckless AI development model could cause endless harm.
Last month, Amazon laid off 30,000 people in one fell swoop. Ironically, the best and most ideal option for these 30,000 people is to buy Amazon stock.
A doomsday scenario is emerging: concerns from the laboratory have now spread to offices, warehouses, and data centers.
According to data from outplacement consulting firms like Challenger, Gray & Christmas, U.S. companies announced a total of 153,074 layoffs in October, reaching a new high in over 20 years.
Additionally, according to statistics from Crunchbase and layoffs.fyi, in 2025 alone, major companies such as Intel, Microsoft, Verizon, and Amazon have announced the elimination of over 70,000 positions in total.
