The site jobloss.ai launched as a real-time tracker for AI-attributed job losses (25 points, 21 comments on HN). The data aligns with Tom's Hardware and TechSpot reporting: 99,283 workers impacted across 146 layoff events in 2026 as of April 10, averaging 993 job losses per day. Block's reduction from 10,000 to under 6,000 employees in March was the largest single workforce cut explicitly attributed to AI automation. Oracle's 30,000-person layoff was the largest single event overall.
