In addition to worrying about layoffs, the technology industry and even employees of all walks of life must worry about the impact of artificial intelligence on the labor team.

At the beginning of 2023, American technology companies such as Google, Microsoft, Amazon, etc. have announced their layoffs.Google's parent company Alphabet has 12,000 people, 10,000 Microsoft, and Amazon 18,000.Prior to this, Meta, the parent company of Facebook, had more than 11,000 people in November last year. Twitter, which was acquired by Tesla's boss Musk, was tied 3700 last November; Musk's Tesla who ignored Tesla to acquire TwitterIn June last year, 6,000 people were cut.

This is just the tip of the iceberg. Other companies such as Silicon Valley Payment Service STRIPE, Carpooling Company Lyft, Internet Retailer Shopify, and Online Film and Television Platform Net Flying have also laid off. Even other industries have reduced their hands, including manufacturing, finance, and media.Industry, food industry, etc.

The two major drivers for the growth of the technology industry are investors' continuous burning money and emerging consumer markets.The blockade policy implemented by crown diseases has brought huge business opportunities to some online platforms, such as online shopping, online payment, delivery, delivery, remote office, online live broadcast, etc. This is a market change with the emergency market of the epidemic.During the epidemic, you can truly popularize all ages and groups through your mobile phone experience.Technology companies need a large number of system engineers, programmers, online security engineers, etc. to build platforms and provide services. The technology industry ushered in a climax of recruitment.

Russia's invasion of Ukraine is a turning point.Although the Russian and Ukraine War was only a regional incident in Eastern Europe, it was actually the agency war of the world's two nuclear military powers.Russia is one of the most important energy output countries in the world. Europe and the United States sanctions on it, pushing up global energy prices and driving inflation soaring.The central banks of various countries responded to inflation to raise interest rates, leading to the dim economic prospects, especially in Europe and the United States.

The economy is not good, and people naturally shrink their belts.From last winter to the beginning of this year, demonstrations broke out across Europe, protesting the government's response, which led many low -income groups to warm up their bodies, but they were hungry.

The consumer market that emerged during the epidemic period was quickly cooled. During the epidemic, a large number of recruitment of science and enterprises had to use employees to operate.

Of course, the world economy originally had a downward and fall. At this time, technology companies to sacrifice layoffs were the result of other factors that happened to work together.

Over the years, there have been continuous development of science and technology, and many start -ups have emerged in the market. Some have grown into today's market leaders, such as Amazon, Meta, Alphabet, etc.They have become the main force of venture capital, and the group has invested a lot of funds to hire personnel to develop new technologies.Some of these new technologies have been successful, and some have burned money for many years and cannot make products, such as Google's autonomous vehicles.Today, the economic prospects are dim. In the face of the pressure of shareholders, these technology companies must first cut off the development teams and start -up subsidiaries that are not available.

Market saturation has slowed down the growth of technology companies and cannot continue to make money. It is necessary to review operating costs. Labor is the most direct cost control measure.For example, the online film and television market in the United States tends to be saturated, and the growth of the industry's leader in 2022 has slowed down significantly.Net flight has laid off 450 people last year, and it is expected that the investment in film and television programs will be reduced next year.It seems that high -quality programs like squid games may become less and less.

Many years ago, my friend L joined the online group purchase platform. The high salary of the receiver made us envy.L Warewell to say that the online group purchase platform is a very risky start -up enterprise. The company needs to grab talents with high salaries. However, if the company cannot achieve results and investors lose their confidence, employees will be scrolled at any time.

In short, if you join the start -up enterprise to receive a high salary, or to join these technology companies in the recruitment tide, you must have the psychological preparations that may be invited by the company at any time.

In addition to worrying about layoffs, the technology industry and even employees of all walks of life must worry about the impact of artificial intelligence on the labor team.From AlphaGo, he defeated the top professional chess player Li Shishi, to Siri of Apple, and then to the American artificial intelligence company Openai's Dall-E and ChatGPT, the Nvidia Canvas of the leading image processor leader, repeatedly highlighting the ever-changing with artificial intelligence.

Dall-E can generate images through text, NVIDIA Canvas allows you to wave at random to create art.In addition to talking with people, ChatGPT can also create poems and novels.

Technology Information Network CNET recently released a special report written by dozens of artificial intelligence, which shocked the media industry.Although these articles have different errors, fake time, artificial intelligence should be able to replace reporters, at least writing some statements without value -added.

The Japanese -American theoretical physicist plus Daoxiong in the future of human beings predicts that the best way for other planets of human colonies is to invent a fully automated construction robot with artificial intelligence to send them to the distant planet.Construction, humans have gradually relocated to built planets.

It can be imagined that if artificial intelligence construction robots really appear, the urban landscape of the earth will be very different. In addition to more high -rise buildings, there may be unemployed army.Even if there is time to engage in artistic creation, I am afraid it will be compared with artificial intelligence artists.
