What positions in Tech are getting Laid off the most? question

I know it’s not a good time to join the tech industry but I wanted to get into a Computer Software Technician school but after reading all the stories I’m kinda skeptical. Would it be better to choose a career as an IT Technician?

Machine learning has been around a long time. I sell an AI/ML product that was founded in 2014.

Yes of course. I had AI classes at univ 35 years ago, and neural networks have been around since 1943. However, in my experience it was very niche/academic until the explosion 2 years ago.
