  Probably. Most mass firings generally have to show that there was a process and that said process didn’t unfairly target certain unprotected classes. So, Meta made AI the process.

  Even worse, it suggests that whatever the AI used as training data also shows retaliation. Since it’s internal, there’s a good chance they just showed that they illegally retaliate.

  Given that we have no AI laws, honestly probably not a stupid decision, just very unethical one.

    Retaliation doesn’t become legal if you get a robot intermediary to do it.
