Fireflies CEO: zero AI layoffs, more hiring, and a takedown of AI-generated 'slop' work

Fireflies CEO Krish Ramineni criticizes corporate AI adoption: employees use AI to create slop, managers use AI to review it, everyone uses AI to fix it — maxing out tokens while shipping little that works.
He argues most AI-blamed layoffs stem from bad management, overhiring, and stock-price protection. Fireflies has laid off no one due to AI, uses AI more than ever, and is hiring more — launching 10 products while expanding the team.
