might as well roll dice. it boggles the mind how people keep taking jobs there and doing all this evil ass shit for them only to be rewarded with being laid off anyway, whether they did a good job or not. i get the ecomomic threat, but people still see these places as prestigious somehow.

That’s the point. They knew who they wanted to fire, but this way they can try to hide behind “the AI did it”.
And since they’re a gigantic company, I’d wager that defence will be successful.
I think it’s simpler than that. They believed their own AI PR bullshit, huffed their own farts, and management thought they could get paid more to do less, offloading decisions.

Malicious and stupid aren’t mutually exclusive, but stupid often leads.
