AI Layoffs: Fact, Fiction, or Something Darker?

from The ProBoh Show · host Rob Grams

In the first part of today's show, we looked at a new analysis from Oxford Economics suggesting that many reported AI-related layoffs may be more corporate fiction than fact, potentially masking a much darker reality about company strategy and public messaging. Today's unpopular opinion was: Romance: Rejection is worse than regret. In the second half of the show, we asked 100 humans: Name somewhere you are likely to be rejected.
