Yeah, I think they want to reduce headcount, and this is the cheapest way to do it. I'm guessing they're getting some flack for investing so much in AI w/o enough return to justify it, so they're culling a lot of the workforce to juice the numbers a bit until that investment starts to make sense. They'll probably just reshuffle people around as needed within the org to fill the gaps.
