AI Isn't Causing Mass Layoffs—It's Being Scapegoated

In this episode of In The Loop, I dive into the growing disparity between record profits and mass layoffs at tech giants.
After spending a weekend analyzing financial statements, competitive positioning, and workforce data, I have four questions to ask that reveal whether companies are experiencing genuine AI productivity gains or just using AI as a cover for cost-cutting measures they'd have taken anyway.
