This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Saved $500M but spent $80B. That's a $79.5B loss.
Im sure that $500M will magically start making it worth it.
I'll be right back, going to ask AI how.
They just stop(ped) offering support for whatever the product or line was. Create a "service portal" that provides results, relevant or not. Creat a forum where people can ask questions that aren't answered, or if they are it's the labor of some Stockholm Syndrome user who is trying to help others as they weren't.
This won't stop here, it's the dream to not actually have to service your product. Imagine being Ford and saying "as is" when a customer asks why the blinker doesn't work. Insane, right? That is the push here for a few reasons, all $ of course:
*Profit for a while until people leave or you are replaced but what a profitable run!
And when a competitor arises they just buy them and repeat the process
Forget servicing the product. Hell, forget the product. Why can't they just charge every person alive a subscription for existing? You can choose from monthly or annual, which is slightly cheaper, and either way you get nothing in return.
If you have 15,000 jobs that could be done by the current state of AI, that says a lot more about your management team than anything else.
remember 10 years ago when tech companies were actually doing interesting things instead of just being ai slop
That was 20 years ago.
That'll be why Microsoft stuff is so shitty.
Don't say "impressive productivity gains" when they are doing less and worse.
lmao they just cut jobs to pay for their trashy ai.
And what are they going to do with that money they 'saved'?
Pay that power bill...
Oh, well that's ok then. :|
Did they.
Finally, some normal news. Silly people are doomed. Machines will prevail!
Goodness, that poor man's head looks like it's about to enter a massive anus.
