'I'm struggling with imposter syndrome after being laid off'
I… can‘t believe this is real, what in the condescending fuck is wrong with that idiot
You need to have no capacity for empathy to be a ceo
I think it shows how much they dont understand how it is to live without money.
Either he’s been selling the AI kool aid for so long that he actually believes his own bullshit, or he’s just stuck in “must sell AI for all things at all times always” mode. Either way it’s a new level of depravity for these exec assholes.

I worked for an Internet startup in the '90s and at one point we were sucking up to R. J. Reynolds' venture capital division for more funding. This tobacco company had so much fucking money they had actually branched out into venture capitalism to do something with it. The VCs came to visit us one day; we were in a non-smoking office and these assholes spent the entire day literally chain-smoking in the meeting room. We had not much ventilation and the smoke was so thick you couldn't see to the end of the hallway. I kept walking past the meeting room and loudly coughing and my bosses eventually sent me home.
We ended up not getting any money from them. The only good part of this story is that these guys have all surely died horrible deaths from cancer or emphysema by now. But in order to sell the lie that cigarettes aren't harmful, these R. J. Reynolds executives had first convinced themselves of it. The human capacity for self-delusion is truly remarkable.
maybe they already replaced this producer with AI.
AI would replace CEOs better than devs and you’d save a lot more money. What’s the issue if we’re so confident in it – aren’t we supposed to think of the shareholders?
I mean that would save millions and millions of dollars right off the top. Between salary, bonuses and stock were talking hundreds of millions in some cases. Maximum shareholder value increase.
no no we can’t risk the future of the company on AI.
Immediately 95% of companies would be better run.
Imagine if the CEO who laid you off was also your psychologist/therapist who you have to turn to. What in the actual fuck is wrong with these people.
This is the most tone deaf dystopian shit I've ever read, jesus christ.
It's quite amazing how these people show their asses on LinkedIn and think it makes them look smart, instead of proving that they completely lost touch with reality. It fits the picture that one the very same day they laid of thousands, Microsoft also send out an invitation to hear them pitch genAI at GamesCom. That's corpo brain on late stage capitalism.
There it is. "Use AI" is the new "learn to code".
Siri, how should I get revenge?
This is wonderful advice! Thank you, John Xbox! I may be without a job, but I will keep on using your products like the mindless consumer I am, so that your paychecks will keep on growing.
God, this is so out of touch that it stops being funny and becomes genuinely uncanny. Like, are these people even real? Are they robots piloted by Skynet? Am I the only real person on the entire planet?
Should be in nottheonion.
I would tell that person the same thing after shifting my foot up their
ass.These people are lucky Light Yagami isn’t real.
Goddamned shameless ghoul, holy fucking shit. We're really in full-on Idiocracy mode, only these morons feel like they have to mention AI in every single sentence instead of Carl's Jr...
In response to that, I reccomend a swift boot up the Xbox producers ass!
Assholes gonna be assholes.
