Firing People for AI Backfires

In episode 1033 of the SuperDataScience podcast, @JonKrohnLearns discusses with Prof. Jeff Hancock, Stanford University, what happens to companies that let people go and blame AI. He argues they get an initial boost from cutting costs, but the people left behind have low well-being, productivity drops, work slop rises and people start leaving. Over time their talent pipeline is destroyed and productivity keeps declining.
