Jan. 6 rioter pardoned by Trump gets prison sentence for possessing ’enormous child pornography collection’ (r/news)

• Honeycove91: Pretends to be shocked
• Th1rte3n1334: Exactly the only thing you can do is feign shock. The very same people that supported Trump because the democrats are all satanic pedophiles turned out to be the pedophiles themselves. It’s projection, and every accusation is an admission.

Kash Patel’s Erratic Behavior Could Cost Him His Job (r/UnderReportedNews)

• Musicman1972: For sure. I mean this administration has its problems but being erratic is just not acceptable. From the top down it’s stability all the way right …
• Nazz1968: I think he drinks heavily because he knows he isn’t remotely qualified for the job, and also knows that Trump will cast him aside on a whim. Noem and Bondi were two of the biggest names as Trump loyalists, and look where they are now. Hopefully the article will accelerate his dismissal. He’ll really have something to drink about when his country singer girlfriend dumps him immediately because the perks are gone. No more FBI jet travel, boo-hoo.

Honestly, how far is the AI-induced layoff? (Blind)

• dumpy: For junior, 2-3 years. Mid-level, 3-5 years. Senior, 5+ years. You’ll always need some high level engineers, those probably won’t go away.
• beastmode$: If AI can do any coding task, nothing is stopping the laid off people from creating competitors to the big names. We will see a startup boom.

Layoff due to AI (Blind)

• n0pants: AI is just an excuse. When they say they are letting go employees because of AI they are trying to fool the investors and reduce the head count at the same time.
• TKTf28: AI is the last desperate attempt at keeping surveillance capitalism going and more importantly stopping a revolution triggered by the implosion of the whole economic and political system. 2024 is the end of the road for US dollar and its reserve currency status. War and layoffs are their way of saying we are willing to stay in power at any cost. They do not want to give up control. Generative AI is.a joke and a distraction.

Tech industry lays off nearly 80,000 employees in the first quarter of 2026 — almost 50% of affected positions cut due to AI (r/technology)

AI Leads All Reasons For U.S. Job Cuts In March, Report Says (r/technology)

• VincentNacon: No… Greed, greed is the real reason why they’re doing the layoff. They wanted to save money, so they valued that more than the person… and ironically, more than their products.
• Just-Install-Linux: I’m in IT and just don’t see AI really taking over at all. We use it, but not in a way that it replaces people. I think the economy just sucks and companies avoid tanking their stock by saying it’s due to the increased productivity of AI instead of the reality of hard times.

Oracle slashes 30,000 jobs with a cold 6 a.m. email (r/cscareerquestions)

‘Another internet is possible’: Norway rails against ‘enshittification’ (r/technology)

• emotional_program0: Considering how poorly Norwegian politicians have been doing when it comes to IT, AI, etc, I wouldn’t. This campaign is from Forbrukerrådet which is an absolutely amazing organization, but they don’t really have any power (sadly!).
• Dear_Chasey_La1n: I don’t think the inaction on AI is per se a sign of weakness, but possibly long term when it all comes down a saviour. Look at Meta, dumping hundreds of billions in AI to the point they need to reduce staffing to support their own absurdity. How can anyone sit back and think that makes sense, investing in tech that’s dated in 3 years from now. Think about it, 100 billion is worth 0 in 3 years. Yet at no point is any AI company (fuck that very term, they are LLM’s at best) actually really profitable or successful. For Europe and Norway with it, to spend time to safeguard the society against AI is for the better, we should praise them for taking it slowly. There is nothing to gain from AI, but countless companies, pension funds, banks will loose money it will make 2008 look like spongebob losing bikinibottom.

Virginia voter support for new data centers collapses from 69% in 2023 to 35% in new poll (r/technology)

• anklebiter1360: My question is….what do the people most affected by these centers benefit from for allowing them in their communities? I’m tired of the rich getting richer on my behalf!!!

• fleurgirl123: That’s gonna crash the economy, when suddenly all non-citizens have to go underground and do everything with cash

How would you feel about a new law that forces every company to pay their CEO no more than 20x what their lowest-paid employee makes? (r/AskReddit)

• Deweydc18: CEO pay is kind of a capitalism red herring. The real problem isn’t the CEO making 100 times their lowest paid employee, it’s the equity holders who are worth 1,000,000 times their lowest paid employee’s annual salary

Founding Engineer at AI startup or MAANG (Blind)

• Mesk: Your equity/ vesting / terms do not reflect founding engineer terms. 18 month cliff is not common 0.15 is too less of an equity. Cash is slightly higher. If you want to learn and grow, startups are better. You will learn more than just coding that will serve you well. You should talk about better vesting terms and more equity though. If the goal is maximizing expected income, MAANG is unbeatable. You will be taking a proven path of maximizing TC in the rat race with much higher expected outcome.
• luadipid: 0.15% equity is worthless, jump ship to MAANG, skill up, make connections, and if you want to pursue startups again use your skills and network and get a founder position (whole number percentage equity)
