Since late 2022, the technology sector has seen a relentless wave of workforce reductions. Concurrent with this contraction is the explosive rise of generative AI, leading to a dominant public narrative: Artificial Intelligence is already replacing human workers at scale. However, a deeper look into industry metrics reveals a more complex reality. While capital is undeniably shifting toward AI development, the direct causal link between AI investment and mass layoffs is weaker than headlines suggest. Instead, the tech industry is experiencing a phenomenon known as "AI washing" -where standard corporate restructuring is rebranded as strategic AI pivoting to appease investors.

Tool needed: uhubctl Github: https://github.com/mvp/uhubctl For Linux or Macos, sometimes we need to turn off  a usb device from command line. This is very useful when there is a faulty device but hard to remove or when testing certain usb devices. For linux, please refer to the Github readme for installation. For Macos, we can install uhubctl using brew: brew tap mvp/uhubctl https://github.com/mvp/uhubctl brew install uhubctl     To list all the current usb devices, use the command: uhubctl To turn of a certain device, use the following command: uhubctl -l {location} -p {port} -a off The {location} means the hub number (e.g. 1-1, 2-2, 2-1, etc.). The {port} means the port number. In the example above, the {location} is 1-1 and the {port} is 3.

 'brew services start <service name>' sometimes will claim it 'successfully' started a service even though it didn't. And it won't give you any log.
