Thread regarding DXC Technology layoffs

sooner or later dxc is just a piece of cheap, lousy and hopeless software which even those software pirates won't even bother to copy it. yea. that's a good one mikey!

As though Microsoft and VMware need system integrators from dxc. Mikey talks like a moron.

Yea. Mikey should walk the talk. Replace his whole family including his descendants with robots.

Mikey doesn't care. He knows what he is saying is b***hit. There's no incentive whatsoever for him to be truthful, candid, or even mildly pleasant, for that matter. He will get his compensation regardless. The really sad part is that he and others like him spout this kind of nonsense in front of various reporters who work for business publications, and none of them have the guts to call them out on their arrogant idiocy.

Utter b---s---, Siri, Alexa, ok google are borderline basic, the singular budget for each AI tool is far greater than the whole of DXC's AI budget.

If this idiot has any sense he would know there is no way you can teach a robot to fix your PC without hiring the best brains in the world and having £50m set aside to 'try' and work it out. And even then there is no guarantee.

Just look at Dxc self service chat, it's soooooooo piss poor even my local high street store has an offering which is at least 10x better....

Who's going to buy all the shiny objects made by all these robots

You need a drinking bird bot just to click through all those referrals. So the Bull is WFR'd and replaced by artificial insemination machinery. Got it.

For once, don't think he is talking daft when AI doomsday predictions are making news these days..

When we hear about automation, the picture that appears in our mind is neat rows of robots in a manufacturing floor .. but reality is; that's happening for decades (displacing non-skilled workers). Nowadays its all a race towards the next logical step, ie; AGI (artificial general intelligence - google it); where neat rows of computers displacing office cube farms; and its not far fetched or long away as one may think -- by reading articles like below

Wholeheartedly agree with the idea of replacing our useless execs with robots. It certainly would be be more cost-effective; would take up less space; wouldn't require constant updates, patches and fixes every few weeks like the current management team and would provide more effective diagnostic analysis of what's really going on in the Business.

I agree, we should replace all executive jobs with robots. I think it would improve profits and productivity.

RPA, Infrastructure As Code, Chatbots, etc will eventually replace some tasks (note I didn't say jobs), but we are far from replacing all labor,

He cant get rid of ALL labour. Maybe some repeatable tasks based on scripted documents but nothing complex. e.g troubleshoot a bespoke app. He's in dream world.
