Following 9,000 layoffs, a seemingly tone-deaf Xbox executive has recommended those impacted to turn to AI tools like Copilot for emotional clarity.
Matt Turnbull, an Executive Producer at Xbox Game Studios Publishing, recently made a LinkedIn post, emphasizing that he'd be "remiss in not trying to offer the best advice" he could to laid-off workers in these trying times. This "best" advice is to turn to AI assistants like Copilot and ChatGPT for emotional support and to reduce cognitive load.
A few years ago all the tech companies doing their initial rounds pf layoffs offered career counselling, now I guess you just get told to talk to ChatGPT.
These executives contribute nothing to the company or society. People like this guy are responsible for the bad decisions that led to layoffs, yet, he will never have to pay for his bad decisions.
Fuck ‘em all. France had the right idea in the late 18th century.
