The First Batch of Big Tech Employees Laid Off by AI Have Returned to Their Posts

The first wave of employees laid off by major tech companies, citing AI as the reason, are already being rehired. In late February, Block, led by Jack Dorsey, laid off over 4,000 employees, reducing its workforce from 10,000 to under 6,000, with Dorsey stating that "AI tools changed everything." However, within a month, some of those laid off began receiving offers to return. Reports indicate rehires occurred in departments like engineering and HR, with reasons ranging from "clerical errors" in termination to managers advocating for their return. The article argues that replacing humans with AI is often more cost-effective. For instance, enterprise-level AI can be expensive in terms of token usage, and training a reliable AI system, such as for customer service, may exceed the cost of human employee salaries. Examples like Klarna, which rehired客服 after initially replacing them with AI, support this. Additionally, the "Jevons Paradox" suggests that AI-driven efficiency gains don’t necessarily reduce workloads but may increase demands on remaining employees, adding to their burden. The piece criticizes companies using AI as a pretext for layoffs, arguing that AI cannot replace human organizational dynamics or strategic roles. Nvidia’s Jensen Huang is quoted condemning leaders who裁员 instead of leveraging AI for expansion. Ultimately, AI serves as a convenient excuse for cost-cutting, but its limitations and the essential role of humans in organizations mean that some layoffs are reversed when key roles are affected. The trend reflects broader issues of corporate strategy and management rather than a true AI takeover.

The War Between Stablecoins and Banking May Not Actually Exist

The article argues that the perceived war between stablecoins and traditional banking is largely illusory, drawing a parallel to the "Javon's Paradox" where technological efficiency (like ATMs) expands, rather than shrinks, an industry. From the supply side, blockchain and stablecoins are dismantling fragmented global payment infrastructures, replacing them with a single, open ledger. This drastically reduces the cost and complexity of offering financial services, enabling companies like Sling Money to operate globally with a small team. Examples like M-Pesa in Kenya and UPI in India show that lowering transaction costs to near zero leads to a massive expansion in financial inclusion, serving previously unbanked populations. On the cost side, the piece highlights the immense compliance burden on banks, which spend hundreds of billions annually on tasks like auditing and reconciling opaque transactions across correspondent banks. Shared ledger technology directly solves this by providing a single source of truth, eliminating reconciliation layers. Projects like J.P. Morgan's Onyx and the Canton Network demonstrate how banks are using this technology to achieve near-instant settlement and free up trapped capital. The convergence of these forces—lower barriers to entry and reduced internal operational costs—points to a future where more financial services are available to more people at a lower cost, much like cloud computing democratized access to computing power. The conclusion is that stablecoins will not destroy the banking system but will instead become a foundational infrastructure upon which more products are built, ultimately expanding the entire market.
