Amazon Axes 14K Jobs, AI Hires Bankers to Replace Us All

This week’s episode of 'Humans Replaced By Robots (But Make It Fashion)' features Amazon quietly chopping 14,000 white-collar lifelines while JPMorgan, Walmart, and Accenture perfect their 'slow hiring' sloth pace—because AI demanded it. Meanwhile, surreal startup Mercor, run by three college dropouts with a 22-year-old CEO, just hit a $10 billion valuation by paying doctors and lawyers to train AI like it’s boot camp for Terminators, freeing future AI to swipe your job and seniority. Anthropic's Dario Amodei and Ford's Jim Farley aren’t mincing words: half of white-collar gigs are toast. Oh, and while the S&P 500 throws a party hitting fresh highs, humans get shown the exit. Microsoft helpfully made a list revealing that interpreters and translators are doomed, but dredge operators? Still safe clawing through sludge. Enjoy the AI apocalypse cocktail!

Ford and Anthropic just declared half of white-collar jobs ‘extinct,’ but don’t worry, the stock market’s booming. Spoiler: profits from robot overlords don’t pay your rent.
