    Hmm, this seems stupid move from an "organizational memory" standpoint, purging all your most senior employees. But, probably done from a financial aspect and these folks thinking AI can take over, lol. Also, pretty ageist.

    "...available to U.S. workers at the senior director level and below whose years of employment and age add up to 70 or higher..."

      Some senior exec somewhere, probably:

      "WHY DO we have all these stupid expensive engineers who have been here 20 years?!?! Can we get rid of them and replace them with Copilot?"

      🤪

        @ai6yr I've sat in quite a few cybersecurity seminars/informationals hosted by MS. They fully believe that AI is such a "force multiplier" that they can displace everyone and replace them with people who can command the BS machine quicker. In their mind, that's not "replacing" people, it's shifting focus and talent, even though they are massively reducing their employee population.

        When others asked, MS kind of danced around or made very broad answers to the ethical concerns and environmental damages already made by AI and MS. They really don't care, not until it endangers their profits. There is no plan, and there will not be one.

        To put it simply, they've abandoned most reasoning to fully accept AI as "the future" no matter the humanitarian cost.
