Amazon Fires Its Own AGI Workers After Blaming AI For 30,000 Layoffs

Amazon just confirmed another round of layoffs — this time eliminating jobs inside its own artificial general intelligence division. That's the same AI the company has been pointing to as the justification for cutting 30,000 positions over the past year. The contradiction is breathtaking: we're firing people because of AI, and now we're firing the people building the AI.The corporate language around these cuts is the usual mush — restructuring for the customer, investing in the future, thank you for your contributions. But the math is simple: Seattle's largest employer is downsizing its white-collar workforce in waves while the city's office vacancy rate keeps climbing and Olympia piles on with a new millionaires tax designed to chase away the wealth that's left.This isn't a Seattle story in isolation. Pandemic-era overhiring across every major tech company is still unwinding, and Amazon is the most visible example. The question isn't whether the cuts make sense financially — it's whether Washington State is doing anything to keep the industry anchored here, or whether the hostile business climate is quietly accelerating the exit.Subscribe to @reasonablenews for daily news commentary without the corporate filter.#NFRP #Amazon #SeattleGO PREMIUM WITH REASONABLE+ FOR UNCENSORED ACCESS 🌟https://ReasonableTV.com/🛍️ MERCH - https://Store.ReasonableTV.com/💬 JOIN our FREE Discord Community!
