WE extensively covered loads of layoffs back in July, as expected since last year ( based on leaks) and we had repeatedly said that all the "HEY HI" ("AI") hype was intended to help distract from it. Microsoft probably shed off 20,000-30,000 employees so far this year, not counting (perma)temps and contractors. In Bellevue alone Microsoft went down from ~9,300 employees to only 4,400 (that's less than half). "It seems reasonable to predict "Open"AI's bankruptcy and it won't even take very long to happen."The video above discusses yesterday's post about the demise of "Open"AI (it's neither Open nor "AI" Alex Oliva called them "Stochastic Parrot" and Richard Stallman said something to the same effect). It seems reasonable to predict "Open"AI's bankruptcy and it won't even take very long to happen. As I note in the video, maybe they will use the misnomer "exit" as they sell the remaining "assets" (staff) to some other company and mislabel the company's failure as "successful acquisition".
