I just want to say that this is absolute clown-level CEOing.
Let’s just set aside the naked antipathy for labor concerns. Let’s pretend we’re heartless investors.
If I heard a CEO say this, my first thoughts would be:
Why the fuck are you declaring an intention to remove people BEFORE the replacement is ready? If the technology is so ready, then deploy it and cut the workers after you’ve implemented it. Do you have any idea what you’re talking about? This is sophomore level business shit. You sound like a 14 year old on Twitter.
Why the fuck are you generating this kind of press? Particularly for a company with a FAMOUS history of loyalty to its workers? Even if it’s now bullshit, you’re pissing on the brand, asshole.
Wasn’t Watson a big famous over-hyped public embarrassment? Did you learn nothing about managing expectations?
The work you say you’re excited to replace is the core business services you sell, and I don’t know what product you’re talking about. OpenAI has a product. Explain why they’re not about to devour your business while you’re out here talking nonsense.
This guy sounds like a moron.
