Thread regarding Verizon Communications Inc. layoffs

I work for Ansar and I agree, it's all bullsh-t. However, what's not is they might use it as an excuse, or falsely believe that it's viable.

It’s so easy to just generate content with ai and all I see is clear ai slop being pushed as output or productivity

Yeah we all loved the bang up job ai did on that mass wireless outage

@a9 it's bundled with G suite, it's less expensive than any other vendor.

@bw AGREED!!!!

@br: you are wrong and pity yourself!!! I am an Asian-Indian and I whole-heartedly agree with @b6 as correctly narrated -- because the truth hurts.

Did anyone see what came out of the white house yesterday? One of those walking machines with Melania suggesting they teach children. They would replace teachers! Wtf is going on. We need regulations put in place. If it were up to tech, humans will be without jobs in a year. They don’t care.

op is 100% correct.

My VP under Kyle’s biggest AI skill is making cartoon avatars of himself with Gemini. Yet they’re worried about AI replacing us? Perhaps VPs and SVPs should be first in line.

@b6

I pity your lack of ignorance and how you were raised ! May the lord guide and heal you soon.

If you don't know what AI is ... here, I am going to enlighten you: A I stands for Actually Indians.
Look around you if you work from an office. You'll see...
They are going to be the only ones left in VZ ....soon.

And leaders are pushing their teams to produce more and more AI outputs. It’s overwhelming. They don’t even know what to do themselves but they sure do push for it.

When you have silo systems and broken processes that people rarely follow it’s going to be hard for AI to do anything

Thanks - I was thinking I’d stay to see what we can do with AI at VZ, but you confirmed my fears. My Sr Dir spouts random AI terms all day long as if he knows what he’s talking about. AI is amazing, and could be transformative at VZ, but not with the talent and bureaucracy we have in place. My retire date is May 1st.

It is an absolute joke and kool-aid as it relates to VZ and AI.

Forget high school, its kindergarten level added with restrictions with policies using Gemini only, further restricted to Google Drive searches and basic prompting as OP said.

Having used G-Suite, even Google nano is blocked ! One “dumasss” after other above…all with knee pads !

AI , GenAI, AGI are already antiquated ……and now Team Agents for Claude is where the world is heading as of today , ClawdBot.. which world do these nuts live or smoke?

The Coffee Man and sip and yap every call on AI and AGI coming next 5 years !….ID- IOT is and embarrassment, internal and external shareholders.

AI in VZ is kindergarten at best and a joke!

The problem is what we all know...any tech company out here has leaders that know the stuff....look around above an AD and you will find out that 70 percent of leaders has no knowledge about what their verticals do....let alone coming with an idea to apply a model and improve a process that they do not even understand in the first place..

Now that was a lot of context for my model....lol

@a7
The fact we are paying so much for the most basic.
Delivering genai. 😂

I've been on calls where they want to add ai to some existing tool or process. But they can't explain what they want. I join their user calls and they say they are working with my team to add ai to make something better.

I'm like what tf are you talking about. You can't even define what you want.
When I start digging in they just need a function added by a swe.

Which is another gd problem. All the swe are bad, slow, and are clearly

Jfc

Sorry I'm just really tilted

Have faith, my on & off shore teams are delivering GenAI to unassisted channels at expedited speeds.

Verizon can do no wrong. It is a platinum employer on the 2026 where you work matters list. AI is unlocked for our vteam! AI is the how. EI is the why. I have never been more proud to be a Vteamer, working for a great company that has offshored and laid off people for so many years. Our leaders are super positive and excited and so am I!
