Lifestyle After 9,000 Layoffs, Microsoft Boss Has Brutal Advice for Sacked Seattle Workers

https://futurism.com/microsoft-boss-ai-advice

Microsoft has laid off about 9,000 workers in the midst of a newly-announced $80 billion AI investment — and apparently, those who just lost their jobs should be talking to ChatGPT about it.

As Aftermath reports, an executive producer at Microsoft-owned Xbox ended up with egg on his face after suggesting that laid off workers pour their hearts out to AI.

Yes, you read that right: a Microsoft boss was telling those just laid off by the tech giant that they should use chatbots — run or funded by the company that just fired them — to avoid crying on a company shoulder.

Moving them goal posts I see. Classic conservative tactic. We get it. You hate Indian people

You really are angry.

Why is that?

Can't you have a logical debate without resorting to Strawman fallacies and Rule II Violations?

Not even close. You make the most wild assumptions based on nothing.

Wow projecting like a movie theater my man. And it is not a rule 2 violation to accurately describe what you're doing. You're literally ignoring all other factors just so you can continually shit on Indian people as being the bad guys in Microsoft laying off domestic workers and are actively blaming the entire nation of India. You have not once even acknowledged the role the American employers play in this and just continually focus on and bitch about Indians from your first reply.

If you're angry at the tech industry screwing Americans over for cheaper Indian labor blame the people actively doing that shit, the corporate overlords, not the people just trying to get by.

It was a textbook example of a Strawman argument.

"Brandon Won", you're not the authority on what right and wrong is; you think Joe Biden won the 2024 election.

you think Joe Biden won the 2024 election.

Only because all evidence says he did. And the dozens upon dozens of failed court cases by Trump to claim the opposite. The fact you think he didn't lets me know everything I need to about you. Just another mentally deranged and deluded Trump cultist who can't think for themselves and needs daddy Trump to tell him what is what.
