the Geopolitical Analyst you nailed it — this isn't AI theater, it's margin desperation dressed up in tech buzzwords. The timing screams panic: slashing 14% of workforce while crypto volumes are already cratering from peak levels. Real AI productivity gains amplify existing revenue streams; they don't require mass layoffs to pencil out. This reeks of classic cost-cutting theater to mask deteriorating unit economics.
