Tech Layoffs Surge: March Worst Month in Two Years as Companies Slashed 38,000 Jobs, Layoff Tracker Claims
Tech companies across the globe are working to integrate AI-powered tools into their daily workflows, citing higher efficiency and lower costs. This appears to be a great proposition for the tech firms, who can increase their margins, increase their profits, and keep their shareholders happy, even if they record the same revenue every quarter, year after year. However, this unprecedented AI adoption has led to massive layoffs across the industry. Another phenomenon fueling the dismissals is the mass pandemic-era hiring, when the blue-collar employees at tech firms ballooned exponentially.

At his OpenAI trial, Musk relitigates an old friendship
Among the most interesting parts of Elon Musk’s testimony Tuesday in his lawsuit against OpenAI wasn’t the charity he claims was stolen from him (we all knewthat was coming). It was about an old friend. Musk testified that one of his core motivations for co-founding OpenAI was a falling out with Google’s Larry Page over AI safety — specifically, a conversation in which Musk raised the prospect of AI wiping out humanity and Page shrugged it off as “fine,” so long as AI itself survived. Page called Musk a “speciest” for being “pro human.” Musk called the attitude “insane.” That’s mostly notable given how close the two once were. Fortune included them on its 2016 list of secretly best-friend business leaders; Musk was so comfortable with Page that he regularly crashed at his Palo Alto home. Page once told Charlie Rose that he’d rathergive his money to Muskthan to charity. The friendship didn’t survive OpenAI. When Musk recruited Google AI star Ilya Sutskever to help launch the company in 2015, Page felt personally betrayed and cut off contact. It’s a story Musk has told before — including to author Walter Isaacson for his bestselling biography of Musk — but Tuesday was the first time he said it under oath. Page hasn’t commented, and it’s worth remembering everything that Musk said was in service of a lawsuit. Still, as recently as 2023 he told tech podcaster Lex Fridman he wanted to patch things up: “We were friends for a very long time.”

Google expands Pentagon’s access to its AI after Anthropic’s refusal
Google has granted the U.S. Department of Defense access to its AI for classified networks, essentially allowing all lawful uses, according to multiple news reports. This deal follows Anthropic’spublic stand against the Trump administrationafter the model maker refused to grant the DoD the same terms. The Pentagon wanted unrestricted use of AI, whereas Anthropic wanted guardrails to prevent its AI from being used for domestic mass surveillance and autonomous weapons. Because Anthropic refused those use cases, the DoD branded the model maker a “supply-chain risk” — a designation normally reserved for foreign adversaries. Anthropic and the DoD are now embroiled in a lawsuit, witha judge last month granting Anthropic an injunctionagainst the designation while the case proceeds. Google marks the third AI company to try and turn Anthropic’s loss into its own gain.OpenAI immediately signed a dealwith the DoD,as did xAI. Google’s agreement includes some language saying that it doesn’t intend for its AI to be used for domestic mass surveillance or in autonomous weapons,The Wall Street Journal reports, which is similar to contract language with OpenAI. But it is unclear whether such provisions are legally binding or enforceable, per the WSJ. Google entered this deal even though 950 of its employees have signedan open letterasking it to follow Anthropic’s lead and not sell AI to the Defense Department without similar guardrails. Google did not respond to a request for comment.

Amazon launches an AI-powered audio Q&A experience on product pages
Amazonlauncheda new AI-powered feature on Tuesday that allows users to ask questions about products and receive conversational audio responses generated in real time. The responses are delivered by what the company calls “AI-powered shopping experts,” which present information in a natural, discussion-style format. The new “Join the chat” feature aims to save customers time by providing key product details without requiring them to scroll through lengthy descriptions or reviews. The AI pulls together insights about product features, customer feedback, and other relevant information. For example, shoppers can ask questions like whether a coffee maker is suited for beginners or whether a sweater feels itchy based on customer reviews. Rather than giving generic answers, Amazon says the AI builds on previous responses to provide more relevant and helpful information, while also making sure not to repeat anything. This is meant to be a similar experience to speaking with a knowledgeable employee at a store. “Customers can ask questions and actually steer where the conversation goes. Every question they ask influences what comes next, making the experience a conversation customers can join and customize,” the company writes in a blog post. “Join the chat” is part of a broader experience called “Hear the highlights,” which offers short audio summaries on millions of product pages within the Amazon Shopping app. That feature begantestinglast May and is currently available in the U.S. However, only select products have audio summaries. To use the feature, customers open a product page in the app and tap the “Hear the highlights” button, located below the product image. From there, they can listen to a brief overview or tap the “Join the chat” icon to ask specific questions via text or voice. The audio can continue playing even as users browse. The new capability builds on Amazon’s growing lineup of AI-driven shopping tools. These includeRufus, its generative AI assistant that helps customers research products and compare options;Interests, which continuously tracks and surfaces new items aligned with a shopper’s preferences; and “Help me decide,” which suggests products based on a person’s searches, browsing, and shopping history.
