Since 2022 the companies that profit from the #Internet have been shedding technical staff in the belief of the power of #AI to replace their #workforce. What are they replacing or redirecting this capacity with?

“Mozilla is eliminating its advocacy division, which fought for a free and open web: The #MozillaFoundation laid off 30 percent of its workforce and completely eliminated its advocacy and global programs divisions, #TechCrunch reports.

While Mozilla is best known for its Firefox web browser, the Mozilla Foundation — the parent of the #MozillaCorporation — describes itself as standing up “for the health of the internet.” With its advocacy and global programs divisions gone, its impact may be lessened going forward.

“Fighting for a free and open internet will always be core to our mission, and advocacy continues to be a critical tool in that work. We’re revisiting how we pursue that work, not stopping it,” #BrandonBorrman, the Mozilla Foundation’s communications chief, said in an email to The Verge. Borrman declined to confirm exactly how many people were laid off, but said it was about “30% of the current team.”

This is Mozilla’s second round of layoffs this year. In February, the Mozilla Corporation laid off around 60 workers said it would be making a “strategic correction” that would involve involve cutting back its work on a Mastodon instance. Mozilla shut down its virtual 3D platform and refocused its efforts on #Firefox and #AI. The Mozilla Foundation had around 120 employees before this more recent round of layoffs, according to TechCrunch.

“Navigating this topsy-turvy, distracting time requires laser focus — and sometimes saying goodbye to the excellent work that has gotten us this far because it won’t get us to the next peak,” wrote Syed, who previously worked as the chief executive of The Markup, an investigative news site. “Lofty goals demand hard choices.”

#Trump’s federal #firings imperil #government services from cities to farm towns

The Trump admin’s move to fire thousands of federal employees could have a swift & severe impact on #PublicServices, staffers warned Friday, making it harder for #veterans to get mental #HealthCare & hampering #electric service to some #rural residents as a beleaguered #workforce struggles to cover for lost colleagues.

The Washington Post · Trump’s federal firings imperil government services from cities to farm townsBy Hannah Natanson

You know, we're going to see another very huge round of layoffs in the coming 2 - 4 years when all of these companies that are solely based on AI, have AI in their names and so forth, suffer from this AI phase crashing down around them and times changing to move on to something different.

I can't tell you the amount of people I see on just my LinkedIn page that have taken a new position at some AI focused company. These folks have jumped on the bandwagon and unfortunately for them the wheels are going to fall off of the wagon all at once.

Tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of people are going to be without a job because they didn't thoroughly think things through completely before accepting their current jobs/positions.

…The push for access to the #Treasury sys came as the #Trump admin moved to dismantle #USAID, the govt’s lead agency for providing #humanitarian assistance globally. Much of the agency’s #workforce will be put on leave this week, & contracts have been halted.
