The AI layoff gamble is backfiring.
Companies that rushed to replace workers with AI are now cleaning up the mess, per The Guardian.
Meta scaled back plans to cut staff and use more AI agents after employees spent growing time cleaning up the agents’ technical and security errors. It’s now rehiring managers.
Microsoft and McKinsey are limiting employee AI use as costs pile up.
Walmart workers say AI scheduling and task tools set impossible standards and generate false alerts.
The payoff isn’t showing up: 90% of executives say AI hasn’t yet boosted productivity at their companies, per an Atlanta Fed working paper.
Yet more than 112,000 US job cuts this year have cited AI, per Challenger, Gray & Christmas.

Ro, you keep invoking your grandfather to build your political image. So let us talk about your grandfather.
Amarnath Vidyalankar voted “aye” on July 23, 1975, to support Indira Gandhi’s proclamation of Emergency. During that Emergency, the government oversaw a mass forced sterilization program in which over 6.2 million men were sterilized in a single year, a number that exceeded the Nazis’ sterilization program.
Then there is jailing of journalists and opposition party members, suspension of all civil liberties.
Nehru hated Capitalism and your grandfather's party is epitome of corruption.
You want to be President? Start by disavowing your grandfather's decisions.

He is member of the Pakistan House caucus. That says it all.
Unreliable person.
He should concentrate on the rising anti- Indian/ anti- Hindu hate in the US rather than street protests in India.
I have challenged his views before. @RoKhanna

What just happened?
The Nasdaq 100 just posted its largest daily drop since the 2020 Pandemic, with the S&P 500 erasing -$3 trillion today.
Just 24 hours ago, the Dow surged +1,600 points after the Democrats "swept" the Midterms.
So, what changed? Let us explain.

Last month we saw how Karnataka CM DK Shiva Kumar was treated by Rahul Gandhi.
Now see Telangana CM Revanth Reddy and Priyanka Vadra..
Unbelievable 🙄

There's a printer in our office that hasn't worked since 2021.
Last month Facilities asked IT to dispose of it.
Easy.
Except company policy requires a signed Asset Disposal Authorization before any equipment can be removed.
The authorization must be printed, signed by the department head, and attached to the equipment.
I submitted the form.
Finance rejected it.
Reason: The printer still has a book value of $14.62.
They can't write it off until the next depreciation cycle.
Fine.
We moved it to storage.
Facilities rejected that because storage is reserved for operational equipment.
It's not operational.
"Then it needs to be disposed of."
I explained Finance won't let us.
Facilities said that was an IT issue.
So I found a solution.
I submitted a repair estimate.
$480 to fix a printer worth $14.62.
Finance rejected the repair because replacement would be more economical.
I submitted a replacement request.
Finance rejected it because we already have enough printers.
I attached the rejection to the disposal form.
Finance rejected that too.
Last Friday an auditor asked why we had a broken printer sitting in the hallway.
I explained the situation.
He said leaving unused equipment in a hallway creates an asset management compliance risk.
He recommended assigning someone to oversee it.
My manager just informed me I'm now the official custodian of the printer.
It's been broken for five years.
It has no toner.
It cannot print.
But it has an owner, a depreciation schedule, and a quarterly compliance review.
It has more job security than I do.

Domestic airfares are up 30%-60% in just one year. Some international routes are even higher. Soaring airfares have forced people to rethink holidays this year--switch to trains, road trips and domestic over international destinations.
Pain may continue if fuel prices remain high and the rupee under pressure.

Delhi-Goa flights are at Rs 25,000 per person this December 🫨 ! Vietnam, Oman and Sri Lanka fares are 2–4X higher than last few years.
Have soaring airfares made you ditch flights for road trips or overnight trains for this Dec–Jan holiday? Pls DM me to share how you are planning your holiday amidst soaring airfares. It's for a story for Mint.
