Comment Pure Fiction (Score -1) 94

Those with a job are likely to stay employed

Provably false. Microsoft just got through dumping 15,000 people for no reason. The hell are they talking about?

Private-sector layoffs are at historic lows

Another lie. This is how you can tell they know what they're doing is wrong. If they believed otherwise, they wouldn't try to hide it.

Many employers are loath to lay off workers

I'd call it propaganda but that would be redundant. Pure evil. Anyone who is still participating in this farce needs psychiatric help.

Comment Another Load of Bullshit (Score -1, Flamebait) 186

Mr. Zuckerberg, tariffs don't raise prices unless you insist on buying from overseas. Buy American. Then there is no tariff.

Every revoked immigrant work permit frees up a job for an American. It also very likely increases quality and reduces cost because Americans make higher quality products instead of cheap crap. We also have a superior work ethic.

And for the record, we've lost patience with your constant harping about technology labor shortages while you torment "working class families" with promises to destroy their jobs with AI.

The reason wages have been stagnant for 52 years is because of people like you. The people are fixing it, and we're going to fix it whether you like it or not.

Comment What Could It Mean? (Score -1) 43

Why, it's almost as if the web was meant to be a many-to-many relationship and we weren't supposed to all be dependent on a single point of failure.

I wonder if the Internet can figure out how to stop putting control of every last goddamn dollar on Earth under the control of a single company full of people who are sexually obsessed with destroying creation? This is what, round three after IBM and Microsoft?

They've laid off 9000 people in the last two years.

Microsoft posted record-breaking financial results in both FYâ2023 and FYâ2024. Additionally, several quarters since then: especially Q2 FYâ2024 and Q3 FYâ2025 were flagged internally as "record" or exceptionally strong performances.

In fiscal year 2024 they made $245 billion in revenue.

There are statutory regulations and constitutional issues here. To qualify to serve as an O-5 in the Army you need time in grade, time in service and considerable training. You also have to be confirmed by the United States Senate.

Sorry. This story is bullshit. Just like everything else on social media.

through therapy-themed bots that claim to have credentials and confidentiality "with inadequate controls and disclosures."

That right there is some straight up bullshit. These people are living in a fantasy world. There is no legal provision for a goddamn chat bot to be "credentialed" for any purpose at all, especially where human mental health is concerned.

I'm as big a supporter of technology and science as the next person, but this slavish worship of solutions to math problems as a substitute for God is going to stop, or AI is going to get regulated into oblivion, and that might not be a bad outcome.

AI is very complex math that simulates the right answer. It is physically impossible for it to be anything else. If you claim otherwise you are not only being unscientific, you're a liar.
