What doesn't fit here?
The core of the story has to be technology focused.
- If article mentions "AI" in a sentence and then talks about business economics that doesn't make it tech news.
- Gaming is too many layers removed from technology. There are many dedicated communities that are a better fit for it.
- Transporation is too many layers removed from technology. EVs while use many cool technologies have many dedicated communities that are a better fit for it.
- Entertainment is too many layers removed from technology. While sometimes it can fit here, business or cultural aspects of it are a better fit for dedicated communities.
- Cybersecurity. While it heavily focuses on technology, most of the time it's too technical for most people who are not already invested in it. Should be posted in a dedicated communities unless it has broader connection to other tech areas.
Post guidelines
Title format
Post title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL format
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefix
Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefix
Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.
Rules
1. English only
Title and associated content has to be in English.
2. Use original link
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
3. Respectful communication
All communication has to be respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences.
4. Inclusivity
Everyone is welcome here regardless of age, body size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, color, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.
5. Ad hominem attacks
Any kind of personal attacks are expressly forbidden. If you can't argue your position without attacking a person's character, you already lost the argument.

MODERATORS
Profits must endlessly increase, costs must endlessly reduce, until no one is able to purchase a service anymore on the market, and starvation makes revolution against a tiny class of people who owns literally everything inevitable. Because every capitalist fears that the next capitalist will out do them and demote them to a low ranking worker in the capitalist competition. The daily operation of capitalism writes its own demise, and technology merely exacerbates the existing social relations.
Cloudflare has revealed it will farewell 1,100 staff, due to its current and future use of AI.
In a blog post that oozes Orwellian “doublespeak”
…this entire article’s premise is based on the “doublespeak,” though? You are literally pumping AI fear and hype based on a company’s blog article because it benefits you.
This is a plain old layoff, just like all the others. CNBC talked about it last October. The LA Times talked about it in March of this year.
It’s not hard to understand if you don’t benefit from AI rage bait like The Register does.
Hack “journalists” like this are the reason the AI hype won’t go away. He’s too stupid to read between the lines or understand that he’s a huge part of the problem.
The Cloudflare CEO even contradicts the “it’s AI, I’m telling you” narrative, right in the same article:
“We have seen that there are roles at Cloudflare that are not the roles we need for the future,” Prince responded. “Just because you are fit does not mean you cannot get fitter. Over the last six months especially, the productivity gains from the people directly talking to customers and directly creating code have been incredible, and a lot of the support roles behind them are not going to be the roles that drive companies going forward.”
Doesn’t matter though, The Register can squeeze another AI layoff article in there to get people riled up!
