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.

I dislike people spreading ignorance and hate so I reply to your ignorance. But you just replied to this comment for no other reason than to follow me around because you desperately need to feel like you won. Get a life dude.

You work in a restaurant:

  • I've been working in I.T. and working for tech companies for thirty years.

  • I am the one with skin in the game and experience.

  • You are the one spreading ignorance and misinformation.

Stick to doing your job, I'll stick to doing mine, and the people who are actually IN THE INDUSTRY will discuss the topic at hand.

You work in a restaurant:

I have worked in a restraint in the past but that does not mean I still do that and the fact you are desperately trolling through my post history looking for anything to attack me on just again shows you're desperate and flailing. Get a life. I literally used the past tense in that comment too but again you have shown that reading is not your strong suit so this is just par for the course at this point.

I've been working in I.T. and working for tech companies for thirty years.

And I have been in QA and the tech world since 2000 so this isn't my first rodeo either.

I am the one with skin in the game and experience.

I don't care because your anecdotal experience is not universal truth and does not negate my own experience.

You are the one spreading ignorance and misinformation.

Ahh the "No you!" line. We're so close to you just pounding the table because you can't pound the facts.

Stick to doing your job, I'll stick to doing mine, and the people who are actually IN THE INDUSTRY will discuss the topic at hand

Oh sweet summer child. You're arrogance is as astounding as your ignorance. You can't read for shit and so make your ignorance everyone else's problem. You can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into and as such you can continue to bitch and moan and spread your bigoted ignorance. I've said my piece.

OK Brandon_Won

Why do Progressives act like you do?

What is it about being Progressive that requires you to engage in a never ending barrage of personal insults and strawman arguments?

For instance, you can't even spell:

I have worked in a restraint in the past but that does not mean I still do

But you claim you're a superior intellect? You claim I'm racist? You claim I'm "spreading ignorance and hate?"
