8,100 to 81 employees? Hope the rest of the industry doesn’t go that far, but most likely they will setup shop in India if they haven’t yet.

You misunderstood what the 81 is.

Translation: We are going to replace you with team + AI, so we do not need more staff.

This is what "AGI" really is and Shopify will be tempted to do more layoffs.

Tobi (Shopify CEO) is an absolute fucking weirdo who deserves no respect.
