Every day there’s more big job cuts at tech and games companies. I’ve not seen anything explaining why they all seam to be at once like this. Is it coincidence or is there something driving all the job cuts?

ChatGPT has been quoted as a cause in at least one of the layoffs. The tech industry is specially positioned to be quickly affected by AI, but AI is going to impact 80% of the jobs on the planet within the next 8 years. Our world is about to experience a massive change to the way things are run. We can try to prepare, but it's going to change in ways previously unimaginable.

The chatbot that's wrong 50% of the time? That's hard to believe.

You're doing yourself a big disservice if you limit your understanding of AI to what you read from the opinions of Lemmings. It is incredibly powerful, and every major corporation has large investments in AI integration.

And how many major corporations that invested in NFTs are still doing so?

Look man, I don't work for OpenAI, or Microsoft, or Google, or any other company that is developing their own AI. I'm not evangelizing. If you don't want to use it, then don't. But it's going to affect everyone, regardless of what they think about it. If you want a leg up in the changing world, then start learning about it. Or don't. I'm not your dad.
