IBM Sacked 8,000 Employees To Replace Them With AI -

IBM laid off 8,000 employees to replace them with AI—what they didn’t expect was having to rehire as many due to AI

In 2023, IBM made headlines with the announcement of nearly 8,000 layoffs, primarily from support roles such as Human Resources. The goal? To replace these workers with artificial intelligence (AI), automating repetitive tasks and increasing efficiency. However, just months later, the company found itself doing something it hadn’t anticipated: rehiring many of those workers.

IBM’s AI Experimentation: The Plan to Cut Costs

IBM’s announcement to reduce its workforce was bold. As a longtime technology pioneer, the company believed that up to 30% of repetitive tasks in HR and other support functions could be automated with AI. The aim was clear: boost productivity and reduce costs. This move came amid a wider trend in the tech industry, with companies like Google and Spotify also trimming staff, often citing AI and automation as key drivers of these cuts.

*TOPIC: BELIEVING GOD FOR THE MIRACULOUS.*(Series 2)

*Scripture Reading:* 2 King 7:1-2

*"Then Elisha said, “Hear the word of the Lord. Thus says the Lord, ‘Tomorrow about this time a measure of finely-milled flour will sell for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, at the gate of Samaria." Then the royal officer on whose arm the king leaned answered the man of God and said, “If the Lord should make windows in heaven [for the rain], could this thing take place?” Elisha said, “Behold, you will see it with your own eyes, but [because you doubt] you will not eat of it.”*(AMP)

Continuation from where I stopped yesterday. Out of the four types of Miracles named yesterday, I want to focus more on the provisional aspect. We found the account in 2 Kings 6 of when the Syrians had surrounded Samaria and cut off all its supplies, the people of the city were starving to death to a level of eating their children one after another. *In the midst of this crisis, Elisha said by the Spirit of God, "Tomorrow at this time, you can find anything you want."* In a miraculous act of provision, God used four lepers to plunder the enemy's camp and take everything they needed - silver, gold, food and clothing and the news spread to the town.

Jesus also began and ended His ministry on the earth with provisional miracles. At the wedding feast in Cana, He turned water into wine(John 2:1-11). Multiplying the loaves and the fish was a provisional miracle(Matthew 14:15-20). Jesus' last provision miracle before His ascension took place after He arose from the dead.

He was on the shore, watching Peter and some others fishing, when he called out to Peter, "Throw your net out the other side." When Peter did as he was told, his net caught enough fish(John 21:1-12). Divine intervention prospered Peter's business tremendously, causing him to recognize the Lord immediately.

I discovered that God always performs provisional miracles first, before He performs the physical miracles even right from Genesis. He always make a provision for His children at all time. And that's the reason why you will not end this year in shame because the Lord Jesus will make a way for you out of no way in Jesus Christ name. Amen! To be continue tomorrow morning by God's Grace. Good morning and do have a great day, peace.

*Prayer point:* Oh God of provisional Miracles, visit me and turn the situation around to favor me even at this present situation in Jesus Christ name. Amen!

A Man Attempting To Jump Off A High Billboard At Gadar Lado In Kano State

Happening now at Gadar Lado, Kano State, a young man is attempting to jump from a high billboard, almost as tall as the flyover

The X post by CHUKS (@ChuksEricE) documents a distressing event in Kano State, Nigeria, where a young man is seen attempting to jump from a high billboard at Gadar Lado. This incident is part of a broader context of mental health crises exacerbated by economic hardships under President Bola Tinubu's administration. Human Rights Watch has reported on Nigeria's severe cost of living crisis, noting that the government's response has been insufficient, contributing to increased suicides due to poverty, unemployment, and insecurity.

In Another context, the event highlights the critical issue of mental health in Nigeria, where disparities in healthcare services and the need for mental health support are significant. The lack of adequate mental health resources and the stigma associated with mental health issues can contribute to such extreme actions.
