Analysts were left shocked Wednesday after ADP released its latest jobs report that showed private employers had shed 32,000 jobs in September, a stark contrast to the expected gain of around 50,000 jobs.

The latest job numbers follow a wave of bad economic news for Trump, who raged against previous reports that showed a sharp decline in job growth, going as far as to call job numbers coming out of his own administration “rigged,” and firing the BLS chief in retaliation.

Keep pumping billions into AI. I’m sure it’ll fix the numbers.

I wonder what the used server market is going to look like a few years from now. They just keep throwing hardware at it

Whole pallets of complete servers up for auction 😅

That's the only thing keeping the major stock market indices up at this point. Once that bubble pops, everything is going to plummet

I've been watching not only people get laid off openly because of AI in my company, but also the leaders talk about it like it's a wonderful thing for everyone. I've been asked many times to look into AI tools and see if they can do my own job.

It's fucking so messed up. I fucking hate people who think these tools can replace people.

Not just because the tools are inadequate, but people making a living besides bussing tables for the 1% isn't sustainable without UBI. In the US, we can't even get fucking free healthcare, there is no way we'll get UBI in our lifetimes.
