Well guess it's not only laid off people but just everyone and their dog wants into the field. We also had one ML job listed and got tons of CVs (not thousands, more like 200 even though we're a public company with remote first and pay for the role more in the 150-200k US$ range).
There was really everything there, from carpenters who studied physics 10 years ago over accountants up to a guy with 20 YoE on everything from spaceships to submarines.
But yeah definitely much more qualified folks than for developer roles. Quite a few I would have hired if I could have
