Pinterest laid off its only icon designer as part of their AI-focused layoffs.

My current advice to my mentees in tech is that if you want to distinguish yourself, it's by how deeply you've embraced AI and how much it's made you more productive. Being the voice of opposition to "AI slop" or "work slop" is a great way to volunteer for the next round of "AI productivity gains" driven layoffs.
