I love the article image just randomly being Newton Street in Manchester.

I thought I just saw an article yesterday that they are hiring again because of issues they have with replacing people with AI? Or was that a different company?

No, it was them. That was a moment of clar...weakness, and now the CEO is sure he's right again.

Not AI related, but reminds me of what happened at X when Musk let a bunch of folks quit and then had to beg for some of them to return. This is another example of a poorly thought out boomerang.

It may have helped them shrink the workforce by convincing them to do it, but that does not also mean that it was a positive and permanent action.

Klarna CEO admits to being a piece of shit.

This CEO would be better replaced with AI.

Jesus Christ how are they a company. Who tf is a dumb enough schmuck to fall for loansharks just cuz it's a website. Y'all need to watch Kaiji and learn a bit about how the world works.

Ok, one less company to ever do business with, ever again.
