Tech layoffs 2026: Over 92,000 tech jobs vanished by May 2026, with April seeing the worst layoffs in two years. US tech giants like Meta, Microsoft, and Amazon are cutting staff, citing AI efficiencies and past over-hiring. Despite job cuts, major tech firms are investing heavily in AI, signaling a significant industry shift.
So really the headline should read, “A placid and compliant press repeats ai fictions to appease their corporate sponsors. While big tech downsizes to cover their failure.”.
That’s like half of Ed Zitron’s output, although he puts more detail into identifying the specific placid and compliant reporters.
