I'm skeptical.. It doesn't even sound like they've actually started on whatever AI/ML projects he's talking about. They're having profitability problems and needed to cut costs. I assume the AI mention here is just fluff so the layoff news doesn't sound so bad
- JoelMcCracken 3y agoWhat he is saying is that they're reevaluating strategic priorities; this is a statement akin to meta saying they're laying off VR/metaverse engineers and hiring AI engineers.
- tomtheelder 3y agoI don’t think that’s right. He is pretty transparent about the layoffs being a cost cutting measure to try to increase profitability.
- JoelMcCracken 3y agoYeah, true; I should have been more specific, that the mention of AI there is "we're changing priorities to develop AI-based offerings", not "we are replacing staff with AI".

- marifjeren 3y ago> the article is an example of what OP is asking for I don't dispute that. It just might also be a lie.
