I want to see what people on this board think about the impact of AI on our industry or specific roles/teams. I know that things are already happening and that there is no going back, it's not looking good. But I also thing that the impact is not going to be linear and that some parts will be affected more than others. What do you think and are you seeing it already. I am in Finance/planning so impacts have been limited so far but I can see situations where some of the low level work is completely done with AI.

Why is it above 60s now ?

Curious if anyone’s been getting logged out daily. Thinking it has something to do with tracking for RTO

Can Mac users actually expect it to change any further?

Nvidia has reportedly spent more than a year exploring a deal for a large PC-focused company that it believes could reshape the PC and Server landscape!

Pendo announced layoffs affecting 90 positions. This reduction impacts approximately 10% of its workforce. Thirty of the affected employees worked at the Raleigh headquarters.

Legal hold tech and ADM are going go next. SMBC will be last as it needs a major player to buy it

Just saw this on Wells Fargo's board, it's coming our way too:

• Thread regarding Wells Fargo & Co. layoffs
  Agentic engineering as a standard
  Link: @OP+1kmzq8d4n

  We all knew that something like this will surface sooner or later. Now all engineers are expected to go full agentic starting right this second ( according to the communication). They even drafted a roadmap of how they envision this would take place. What are your thoughts about this move? I guess, this is mainly will affect technology but looks like some businesses will be included in this madness as well.

The companies on the list include Cisco; HP; Intel; Oracle; Microsoft; Apple; Google; Meta; IBM; Dell; Palantir; Nvidia; JP Morgan; Tesla; GE; Boeing. Two companies headquartered in the United Arab Emirates were also named: G42, an Abu Dhabi-based artificial intelligence company, and Spire Solutions, a Dubai-based cybersecurity company.

AMD says it will buy Intel, completing the strangest reversal in chip history

but our technology is still in the 80s. Forms that require standard text fields with predetermined values, which the user needs to spell out, and a highly paid analyst or manager has to manually reject for typos. No drop down, no back end data validation, no autocomplete.

BUT USE AI. lol. Because we bought Microsoft bonds, Charlie is on the board, and we are spending billions on CoPilot to keep them afloat. Or something.

How about we just spend the billions bringing our technology later into the 20th century.

Thinking about putting in for it and just wondering what the craic is really

Has anyone told Sarah that we are about 25 years behind in terms of technology? It’s actually embarrassing, yet her town hall she emphasized the need for us to be immersed in data. Why can’t anyone close to her tell her the truth?

if you look at tgs, all sr dirs and vps are stuck in late 90s or early 2000s. our chances of building a modern and prosperous it org are zero unless we have new folks in these positions. that will never happen, so rest assured, things will continue to go downhill as the rest of the world accelerates change. at some point someone will wake up but it'll be way too late

Makes me wonder if we shouldn’t replace a lot of C-suite employees with AI.

This was in Fortune magazine.

Is this True?

To get an idea for how far behind Intel is in AI, they still employ hundreds of secretaries. These are status symbols. They are so old fashioned on the inside. The leaders don't know how to schedule Outlook or create ai agent.

Official as of Monday. Indefinite.

ExxonMobil's breakthrough in fully automated offshore drilling in Guyana has significant implications for its shareholders. The automation system not only enhances drilling efficiency and execution but also offers potential cost savings and improved well economics. This shift towards automation may lead to a more consistent and reliable production profile, which is crucial for maintaining shareholder value. Additionally, the successful deployment of this technology could influence capital allocation for ExxonMobil's offshore projects, potentially protecting well economics amid volatile oil price cycles.

While the automation system introduces new risks, such as software failures and cyber vulnerabilities, the long-term benefits of increased efficiency and operational consistency are likely to outweigh these risks for ExxonMobil's shareholders. The company's ability to demonstrate the effectiveness of its automation technology in Guyana could serve as a blueprint for future field developments, potentially impacting capital allocation for other offshore projects and beyond.

Overall, ExxonMobil's automation breakthrough in Guyana represents a significant step forward for the company's upstream operations and could have a positive impact on its shareholders by enhancing operational efficiency and potentially protecting well economics.

Does anyone know why there has been a push to get us using bank laptops to replace our HVDs?

Just look at Amazon. Their engineers are losing it because AI code is wrecking systems.

It's simply hilarious. Goals due, but no direction from leadership. Some orgs haven' been shared yet. No idea what to expect when L3 in technology is and what it means when it is shared in the next week and what that means for everyone under the ones chosen. Picking 1/2 GP and 1/2 WP doesn't mean the right people will be chosen. It is a wait and see over and over and over and over again. It's exhausting.

Sic transit gloria mundi.

"The C1X elevates Apple’s in-house RF capabilities to tier 1 status. Data from Q4 2025 unequivocally demonstrates that Apple’s in-house C1X modem represents a generational leap over the previous C1 model. Our data indicates that it has achieved real-world parity in download and latency performance with the Qualcomm X80 across numerous networks in both ideal and challenging conditions, proving the silicon is a performance equalizer rather than a compromise."

Asking for a friend lol

I get this error on my browsers: Error 1015: You are being rate limited by the owner of this website

a lot are experiencing issues connecting to slack and emails ( not everyone ) , maybe they are testing the ki-l switch when layoffs starts , weird it didnt affect everyone

Share stories of your experience with the FSC rollout disaster. After being told by the Wells Fargo lady and her phone call pep rallies being called Eeyores and Ford Pinto’s in how great this FSC rollout will be, it has been a complete disaster it has been. She should be fired along with the team in charge of the rollout.

Snowflake confirmed "targeted" staff cuts. These adjustments align teams with the company's long-term strategy. The cuts specifically affected its technical writing and documentation team. Snowflake aims for operational efficiency and more AI products. Other tech companies also made layoffs due to AI focus.

Everything is slow.

Can some explain wha the heck this even is without all the ridiculous jargin on the website and launch announcements?

This headline is incomprehensible:
“Avaya Nexus: Announcing The Security-First Voice Platform For Mission Critical Teams”

Another example: “ Avaya Nexus™, a companion product for Avaya Infinity, is specifically designed for no-fail, highly-regulated environments including emergency services, defense, government, healthcare, financial services, and public utilities.”

A companion product that does what? And fixes what problem? The marketing is awful

What did you think was going to happen when R&D was outsourced to Sanjay? Tech-power-house = outsourced garbage. You're fooling no one anymore!

Long overdue in my opinion. Let's invest in so much smoke and mirrors technology but let legacy talent go? What a waste in money!

Approvals take weeks, crashes are daily, and we're all just clicking through junk pretending everything's fine. It’s embarrassing and exhausting.
