The problem with the question of why AI productivity gains lead to layoffs instead of simply producing more is that you need demand to go with supply.
Consider Epic Games who just had layoffs due to Fortnite engagement dropping. Shipping 10 new battle royale games thanks to AI is counterproductive.
@carnage4life Continuing to do more of the same when, for little to no additional cost, the company now has the resources to branch out into new areas seems like a lack leadership vision.
They have the opportunity to grow the business, but instead lay people off and pocket the short term incentives.
Good leadership would take advantage of this opportunity.
