I thought I needed it to vibecode a website, but it actually sucks at that so I cancelled my subscription during the free trial. Total shitshow and a massive waste of time

this is blatant "AI washing" of the layoffs. not even very good AI washing. the weakness in their business around the FX rates is the real culprit. alarm bells should sound extra loud for investors when companies AI wash their layoffs

"because of A.I." is code for "we're a bunch of boomers and/or shitskins who massively overspent and now want to course correct while still saving face and don't want it to be obvious we're a bunch of selfish assholes pulling up the rug on younger ppl"

This isn't surprising. They're a company that helps people make websites.

AI is really good at making websites.

I don't think this means anything for the job market at large. But obviously basic coders, graphic designers, and copywriters are fucked.
