Technology

They just stop(ped) offering support for whatever the product or line was. Create a "service portal" that provides results, relevant or not. Creat a forum where people can ask questions that aren't answered, or if they are it's the labor of some Stockholm Syndrome user who is trying to help others as they weren't.

This won't stop here, it's the dream to not actually have to service your product. Imagine being Ford and saying "as is" when a customer asks why the blinker doesn't work. Insane, right? That is the push here for a few reasons, all $ of course:

• achieve oligarchy or monopoly
• enshittfy product
• remove product support to save on support labor and related infrastructure
• profit!

*Profit for a while until people leave or you are replaced but what a profitable run!

If you have 15,000 jobs that could be done by the current state of AI, that says a lot more about your management team than anything else.

Saved $500M but spent $80B. That's a $79.5B loss.

Im sure that $500M will magically start making it worth it.

I'll be right back, going to ask AI how.

remember 10 years ago when tech companies were actually doing interesting things instead of just being ai slop

That'll be why Microsoft stuff is so shitty.

lmao they just cut jobs to pay for their trashy ai.

Don't say "impressive productivity gains" when they are doing less and worse.

And what are they going to do with that money they 'saved'?

Did they.

Goodness, that poor man's head looks like it's about to enter a massive anus.

Finally, some normal news. Silly people are doomed. Machines will prevail!
