Every day there’s more big job cuts at tech and games companies. I’ve not seen anything explaining why they all seam to be at once like this. Is it coincidence or is there something driving all the job cuts?

Do you work in a technical role? I've dabbled in using AI to help out when working on projects, but I would say it's hit or miss on actually helping, as in sometimes it helps me move a bit faster and sometimes it slows me down.
However, that's just for the raw "let's write some code part of the work". Anything beyond that in my roles and responsibilities doesn't really intersect with what AI can currently do, so I'm not sure where I would get a 5-10x speed-up from.
Honestly I'm not sure if I'm taking a wrong approach or if everyone else is blowing things out of proportion.
