  The current tech layoffs are pandemic over-hiring correcting itself, with AI as the convenient excuse.

  Their words

  And I think what we're seeing right now with some of the layoffs is a testament to that, not AI. It's just that during the pandemic, a bunch of overhiring went on, and now AI is a convenient excuse to slim down.

  Ayn Rand's strangeness was both her strength and her undoing, because she used herself as the model of humanity and never grasped how unlike other people she was.

  Their words

  That was her strength because she's so unusual, but it was also her downfall because she looked to herself as a model or to get insight about humanity, and she never quite processed how different she was from other people.
