I hope this is true. I would like to have a job again.

It's true, although the smart companies aren't laying off workers in the first place, because they're treating AI as a tool to enhance their productivity rather than a tool to replace them.

Does anyone have numbers on that? Microsoft just announced they're laying off around 10k.

Microsoft did the June layoffs we knew were coming since January and pinned it on "AI cost savings" so that doing so would raise their stock price instead of lower it.
