Implementation did not go smoothly. It took weeks to work through technical issues with the software and adjust to the new loading system. Across the state, orders backed up.â

20% of Meta's salaries is still a fraction of the cost of just one of their proposed data centers. Two things are true here: 1) AI is stupidly expensive and has no meaningful ROI (financially speaking). 2) Layoffs are continued to be blamed on AI, when poor decisions by humans are actually to blame.
