It looks like the AI layoff boom has started to backfire.
I was just going through a Reuters investigation on Meta, and holy shit...
They drew up plans to cut some teams by as much as 60% and let AI agents do the work. THEN Zuckerberg called off the next round of layoffs hours before the first one even started.
And when you look at the numbers... they tell you why.
Engineers were pushing out 220% more code, BUT major technical and security incidents jumped 40%.
So people spent 70% more time putting out fires.
AI cranked out way more work, and humans spent way more time cleaning it up.
A different report I saw this week showed something similar.
32% of hiring managers said they brought back the exact jobs they cut for AI.
Think about how dumb that is. You fire people, pay a fortune for AI, then pay again to hire the same people back.
Look, I’m no AI bear. I use AI every single day.
It saves me a shit ton of time and I’m not going back. It’s an incredible tool.
But market forces are still market forces.
Every boom in history has been overhyped, and every CEO wanted to stand up and tell Wall Street he could do more with half the people.
Now from what I’m seeing, reality is kicking in.
It costs way more than they thought, it breaks shit, and you still need people who know what the hell they’re doing.
Even the AI companies are feeling it. Elon just cut Grok’s usage limits and admitted it costs more to run than it brings in.
I still think AI is a great bet, and I’m still buying the companies building the data centers. But you need balance, and the guys who went all in on firing everyone are learning that the hard way.
Be careful out there.

“Your job is to manage AI agents”
If you can’t pay for a role, manage your agents yourself or find another individual to do it.
You dey fear to tag me?
You were asking for 1.5m naira for a part time admin position, some of which was to make posts on social media. A remote job at that.
We already have AI softwares doing that for less than $75 a month. Your job basically as I informed you will mainly to manage ai agents and automations.
I also told you that for that amount, you will probably do more than admin, you may be delegated to join our Tech team as a frontend UX staff of which you declined saying you are a UX designer only
But ofcourse “you know your worth”, as in your words: you charge $2000 to design websites and people pay.
Very disappointing to see this response of yours Favour. Even after the advice I gave you in the informal conversation we had.
Your work ethics, work values and ability to take corrections and learn is disappointingly sad to note.

The Guardian says Sierra Leone is a narco state. The numbers say otherwise.
- About 2 homicides per 100,000 people, against a global average of 6.1
- 8th most peaceful country in Africa (Global Peace Index 2026)
- The UN Office on Drugs and Crime puts the global average at 6.1 per 100,000, and Africa's at 13. Drug offences recorded by Salone police in 2025? 448 cases, mostly kush, tramadol and cannabis. Cocaine cases were low.
- The UK government's own investment arm is still putting money into Sierra Leone
Crime is rising, and we should say so. But a crime problem is not a narco state.
Why I disagree with the Guardian and many of my friends:

I’m trying to understand from the initial post how this is different from the fact that speech signals are stationary for 20ms windows
BREAKING PROOF!! Continuity we perceive in consciousness is an illusion! We flip between conscious and unconscious states every 60 milliseconds and we recognize backward speech when played every 20 milliseconds. Listen to this!

More often than we admit, the most consequential thing some environments steal from us is our imagination

The Guardian’s article wasn't just badly written…it’s blackmail.
It bothers me that so many people in the diaspora can’t see what it is and are falling for the usual trope.
Obviously, the Dutch are trying to force the government to capitulate because their usual approach hasn't worked.
They don’t want to spend the resources or risk sending their special forces to get their drug lord.
Instead, we get a shoddy attempt at national blackmail. Trying to create a single narrative about Sierra Leone by labeling us the “first true narco-state” is a laughable label at best.
A country that doesn’t even produce drugs is the "first true narco-state"? Komot!
Is there a problem with Ngor Jos using Salone as a transshipment hub? Absolutely!
If the Dutch want their man, duya
una kam collect am.
But any Sierra Leonean who allows the Dutch or their agents passing as journalists in the Guardian and elsewhere to own the narrative on Sierra Leone is a traitor to Salone.
So many of y’all did not read Walter Rodney, and it shows.
Or even an easy read like Confessions of an Economic Hitman.
First Narco State my foot!

For the Record - the same Google that has captured most of the Ghanaian AI Government Ecosystem at the expense of the local innovators - would literally not exist without US government money.
Google would not exist today if it had the misfortune of attempting to exist in Ghana.
