LOL. just hang around the parking lot at HP and management will call you back in an hour. Get a raise out of it.
Reminder that HP created and maintains the biometric apartheid systems for the terrorist state of Israel
The drivers and software for their printers is such garbage already even if the vibe-coding breaks them entirely I won’t be able to tell the difference
LLMs are such an unstable technology right now, literally changing every few weeks. I don’t understand why companies are willing to fold it into their workflows in the current state.
Guessing either:
-
Leadership lives so deeply in techbro echo chambers that they are completely oblivious to the volatility of the market.
-
These companies have a poor financial outlook and are hedging their bets that an AI pivot can give them access to income they need.
To me, the fact that they’re starting with layoffs this large means that they are in dire straits and need to cost cut badly, but are hoping that declaring a dedicated push to adopt AI will retain some measure of confidence from the market.
Leadership is definitely in deep echo chambers, and dont have the critical thinking skills to see it and change tac. That being said, its such a short-sighted attitude because, one again, laying off employees kills population wages … so whose going to buy their products?
I mean, you can always say “well, everyone else will!!!” But if every company is laying off employees because of AI, there will be nobody left eventually and boom, completely dead economy and society.

I blame the drive to use anything new before the competitor does and gets an advantage, added to worse and worse IT departments that don’t really know what they’re doing. There could be some companies that have a good IT that just get overruled, of course.
Only firing thousands, you can do better I dare HP to replace everyone with AI.
I’ll watch the fireworks 🍿
We already knew that HP was a shit company. No change there.
I predict failure.
Hopefully HP will finally die.
I removed every single HP device I could find in my house a few years back.
Dump HP,
Depending on what “AI use” means, at a certain point it’s probably just cheaper to use humans. Leasing compute isn’t cheap. Data centres aren’t cheap. Chips aren’t cheap.
What’s actually happening every time you see a “we’re sacking humans to use AI” story: the economy is fucked and layoffs would have happened regardless. This is just a fig leaf they can use to hide that fact.
Using the AI bubble as the reason investors shouldn’t panic over the AI bubble.
