Tech Companies Are Cutting Jobs: Is AI the Cause or the Excuse?

科技公司大裁员，人工智能是原因还是借口？

Meta, Coinbase, and Block each cut at least 10% of staff in recent months, totaling about 13,000 jobs, while citing AI for part of the reductions. Layoffs.fyi says more than 150 tech companies have cut at least 115,000 workers this year, as analysts question whether AI is the cause or a cover for overhiring and weaker businesses.

Why it matters: HKR-H/K/R all pass: the NYT piece ties concrete layoff numbers to the AI-as-cause-or-excuse debate. It stays at the featured threshold because this is macro labor reporting, not a model, product, or policy update.
