@chrisisgr8 I'm old as fuck and tech layoffs were around in the 80s so that's nothing new. Also the whole "thing is bad because it uses more energy than a small country" is getting old. Data centers and the internet exceed that power consumption metric, nobody says anything about that. Also technologies start out power intensive and then innovation reduces the power load. .e.g. CPUs. The Gartner hype chart is great for plotting out how technologies go from cool ideas to being over hyped.
