🚨 Amazon Fires 14,000: The AI Replacement They Won't Admit | Truth Behind "Efficiency" #AI #TechLayoffs


Listen Later

Amazon just fired 14,000 employees. The official reason? "Operational efficiency."

But Decision Intelligence expert Joseph Vale exposes what they're NOT saying: AI automation is replacing entire departmentsβ€”and managers are next.

October 28, 2025. While Amazon celebrates record AI investments ($118 billion in capex), 30,000 jobs are on the chopping block. This isn't about efficiency. It's about cold math: AI costs less than humans.

In this explosive 10-minute episode, Joseph Vale and Damian (his hyper-personalized AI co-host) dissect:

🎯 Why Amazon is targeting mid-level managers first (and why you should be worried)πŸ’° The brutal economics: $3B in salaries vs $118B in AI infrastructureπŸ” The pattern NO ONE is talking about: Amazon isn't aloneβ€”this is systemic across Big Techβš–οΈ The AI Governance crisis: Who's responsible when algorithms replace 30,000 families?πŸ“Š Wall Street's response: Stock prices UP after layoffs (yes, really)

This isn't anti-AI. Joseph literally has an AI co-host. But as an expert in AI Ethics, Decision Intelligence, and AI Governance, he's asking the uncomfortable questions:

What happens when automation is cheaper than humans in ALL industries?Where's the corporate responsibility?Are we prepared for what's coming?

Whether you're a CTO, manager, developer, or CEOβ€”this affects you. The difference between being on that list of 14,000 or not? Understanding how to work WITH AI, not against it.
