Thread regarding Optum layoffs

Does leadership know any other word than AI?

If we played a drinking game every time they say AI everyone would be drunk before lunch time. These people are so out of touch.

Sandeep is the stupidest person who's ever held that position by a country mile.

Patrick must be drunk to keep him in that role.

Oh. Wait. Sorry.

It is stunning that they seem to think AI=CoPilot. Well CoPilot is a skin on GPT, which is a mediocre to bad GenAI and useless Agentic and Algrothmic AI tool. Our CoPilot has virtually non-existent RAG.

These guys are to AI like an automotive performance shop saying they are putting better exhaust on to increase speed. Zero clue what their subject matter is.

100%!! Years ago, the favorite word was "Agile" within OT; I joked there was someone sending a kickback for every mention of the word. We had oodles of training courses to take and how it was going to propel us to the next level; if I only had a dollar for every leadership cliche.....

I felt this too. The disconnect between all the AI hype and what employees are actually experiencing is… a lot. Feels very Hunger Games.

The fact the CEO of OI is saying CoPilot is going to save Optum 100X is a massive tell, and not a good one. Does OI even understand how AI works at all? Beyond CoPilot skin of mediocre OAI?

SD literally said the only thing that will get OI out of the current rut is AI. Sell the stock now because if that’s their only plan, we are sc--wed.

He’s an incompetent insurgent.
