This was always about destroying tech worker's leverage to demand a decent quality of life in exchange for their work, never about "intelligence" of any kind, and the only thing that could have stopped it was unionization.

Many organizations rushing to cut staff in the name of AI efficiency are expected to quietly rehire those roles – often "offshore or at lower salary."

This is just coming out of a prediction from a Forrester Research report of predictions for next year. It’s not actually showing they’re hiring people back at lower pay.
