ZDNET的关键外卖
-开源软件公司宣布即将下岗。
- 领导人将人工智能和自动化作为因素。
- AI相关的裁员正在打击几个技术公司。
根据登记册的独家报道，Linux公司供应商SUSE将裁员近2 000人中的十分之一，因为Dirk-Peter van Leeuwen首席执行官通过电子邮件告诉工作人员。

称说：“ AI的能力正在指数式地发展，迫使我们彻底地重新构思我们的工作，”他补充说，“SUSE今天所建立的组织设计和成本基础不会成功地推动我们前进。 ”
技术工作的转移
AI正在影响技术产业的许多部分，包括开源。 就在上个月，Linus Torvalds 宣布他用Claude Code来写Linux补丁，Linux的爱好者将其解读为他在AI上的立场演变。
根据一些报道，企业在经历了几年的不确定性之后终于从AI那里看到一些ROI. 但是，这仍然是局部的，讽刺的是，对于技术本身。 正如一位经济学家最近指出的，大赦国际主要增加了主要技术公司的每名雇员的收入，而大多数其他公司则保持不变。
至少在某些情况下，这种增长的取舍是裁员。 但解雇在某种程度上属于AI，上月，Microsoft 宣布公司将购买60,000名工人(其中一些在Copilot分部)，优先安排AI工作，尽管该公司也可能对AI基础设施花费大量资金做出反应。

也很难分辨解雇前计划是否因AI能力所致，今年早些时候，Squarespace昨天还解雇了19%的工作人员，尽管Squarespace本身也投资了AI的报价

“跨SUSE，现代工具已经在改变我们的日常工作流程，对一些现有角色的要求已大大减少。 其他角色将在未来几年演变
大批裁员还没有被击中 — — 还没有
虽然今年有几家科技公司(宣布)的高知名度裁员，Gartner甚至预测，如果公司不“过度的员工队伍规划 ”，公司到2029年将实际重新雇用他们试图用AI替代的30%的雇员 — — 成本更高。
尽管如此，AI投资，气温编码，以及不断变化的优先级正在整体改变软件场景。

ZDNET’s key takeaways
- The open-source software company announced forthcoming layoffs.
- Leadership cited AI and automation as factors.
- AI-related layoffs are hitting several tech companies.
According to exclusive reporting by The Register, enterprise Linux provider SUSE will lay off one in 10 of its nearly 2,000-person workforce due to “automation and AI,” CEO Dirk-Peter van Leeuwen told staff via email.

Van Leeuwen noted that AI is rapidly changing how software companies function.

“AI capabilities are advancing exponentially, forcing us to radically reimagine our work,” he said, adding that “the organizational design and cost base that SUSE is built on today will not carry us forward successfully.”
Shifts in tech work
AI is impacting many parts of the tech industry, including open source. Just last month, Linus Torvalds announced he had used Claude Code to write a Linux patch, which Linux enthusiasts read as an evolution of his stance on AI.
By some reports, businesses are finally seeing some ROI from AI after a few years of uncertainty. But that remains localized, ironically, to tech itself. As one economist recently noted, AI has primarily increased revenue per employee at major tech companies, while leaving most other companies unchanged.
The trade-off for that growth is, at least in some cases, layoffs. But layoffs credited to AI in some way don’t mean that human roles are always being replaced. Last month, Microsoft announced it would buy out 60,000 of its workers — some of which are in its Copilot division — to prioritize AI efforts, though it’s also likely the company is reacting to spending a significant amount of money on AI infrastructure.
Jobloss.ai’s layoff tracker shows primarily tech companies — including Uber, Salesforce, and GitLab — in its recent entries, but job loss attribution to AI is still mixed, and the number of roles cut isn’t always jarringly huge.
It’s also hard to tell whether a layoff strategically frames pre-AI plans as being due to AI capabilities or is actually a result of them. That question circulated around Block’s major layoffs earlier this year. Squarespace also announced layoffs of 19% of its staff yesterday, though company communications don’t explicitly name AI. Still, vibecoding has impacted website builders overall, though Squarespace itself has invested in AI offerings.
Also: Why replacing staff with AI backfires
Van Leeuwen’s email to staff acknowledged where SUSE has already begun to change, though it’s unclear whether he meant by adopting AI tools internally.
“Across SUSE, modern tooling is already changing our daily workflows, enabling teams to move faster with less operational overhead and flatter reporting lines. The requirement for some existing roles has greatly diminished. Other roles will evolve over the next few years,” he said.
Mass layoffs haven’t hit – yet
While several tech companies have announced highly visible layoffs this year that they’ve also framed as related to AI, economists agree that the massive cross-industry layoff wave many fear has yet to arrive. Gartner even predicts that companies will actually rehire 30% of the employees they tried to replace with AI — and at a higher cost — by 2029 if they don’t “overhaul workforce planning.”
Still, AI investments, vibecoding, and shifting priorities are changing the software scene overall.
