Earlier this month, Microsoft underwent mass layoffs of around 9,10💮0 employees. This directly resulted in the cancellation of several in-development projects, and some studios almost shutting down. This has been going on over the last two years, but according to chairman and CEO Satya Nadella, "Microsoft is thri🧸ving".

This is what happens when you're AI brainrotted.

It seems that the company has been doing well on paper, but that has always been the case with multinational corporations. On two separate occasions, we've reported 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Nadella enjoying a pay rise, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:while ಌeღmployees have been getting laid off.

After a few lines about how difficult it was for Microsoft to let go of people that they've worked closely with, Nadella went on to say, "By every objective measure, Microsoft is thriving". It doesn't take a lot to see the disconnect here. He added that the market peꦜrformance, strategic positioning, and growth is all on an upward trend. Some more corporate jargon was thrown in before he brought up layoffs again.

However, the CEO of one of the biggest companies in the world couldn't figure this one out. "This is the enigma of success in an industry that has no franchise value," he said. But it’s also a new opportunit♏y for us to shape, lead through, and have greater impact than ever before."

Everyone's desperate for a triple-A western MMO, and Microsoft have cancelled the 𒀰most promising MMO we've seen in years.

Of course, as with most such corporate newsletters, Nadella then went into how important AI is. Security, quality, and AI transformation were listed as Microsoft's three business priorities. Clearly, he didn't mean job security as reports have revealed that those laid off at King will be replaced by the very AI tools♕ they helped🌄 train.

Again, this is followed by a string of corporate buzzwords. "Our differentiation will come from how we bring these layers togetheꦫr to deliver end-to-end experiences and products, with the core ethos of a platform company that fosters ecosystem opportunity broadly" – whatever that means.

"The 𝄹AI wave is our North St𒈔ar!" he surmised in the blog post, which feels like it was written by a robot pretending to have emotions.
