Bezos Predicts Three-Day Workweek as Amazon Cuts 30,000 Jobs

Original: Bezos Predicts a Three-Day Workweek. Amazon Just Cut 30,000 Jobs.

Jeff Bezos has predicted that artificial intelligence could enable a three-day workweek in the near future, while Amazon moves ahead with plans to cut roughly 30,000 corporate jobs. The timing has drawn attention, with many pointing to the contrast between optimistic forecasts about AI freeing up workers' time and a major round of layoffs at the company Bezos founded.

Why now: The juxtaposition of Bezos's optimistic AI workweek prediction with mass layoffs at Amazon struck people as ironic and worth discussing.
