  "textContent": "[2603.20617] The AI Layoff Trap\n\none of the more fascinating reads in recent months. i had to goo^h^h^hDDG something every couple of paragraphs. this was also referenced in The Dead Economy Theory - by Owen McGrann - The\nPalimpsest (TDET) which also happens to lean heavily on Opinion |\nSilicon Valley Is Bracing for a Permanent Underclass - The New York\nTimes. all worth spending time on and working through in detail. TDET is clearly coming from the perspective of someone who’s poking at this themselves and reading widely on the topic. i suspect the writeup has triggered all sorts of vitrol.\n\nthere’s no small amount of shit to unpack in all of these articles. to say that we’re societally unprepared for any of this probably goes without saying. though i was amused by the TDET tagline _We can laugh at them but we have to take this seriously_. which is, unfortunately, very true.",
