Microsoft president Brad Smith acknowledged that the four rounds of layoffs this year are more about using the money saved to fund AI data centers and GPUs than workers being replaced by AI.

I think this is important for the media to get right versus making it seem like ChatGPT can replace a human worker.

@carnage4life That's insane. That's like getting a divorce to spend the money saved each month on buying a GeForce RTX 5090.

@stitzl @carnage4life You should have married somebody who would support you in your goals to get an RTX 5090...

I think this analogy works for hiring practices too
