Only firing thousands, you can do better I dare HP to replace everyone with AI.
I'll watch the fireworks 🍿
LLMs are such an unstable technology right now, literally changing every few weeks. I don’t understand why companies are willing to fold it into their workflows in the current state.
I blame the drive to use anything new before the competitor does and gets an advantage, added to worse and worse IT departments that don't really know what they're doing. There could be some companies that have a good IT that just get overruled, of course.
I predict failure.
I removed every single HP device I could find in my house a few years back.
The drivers and software for their printers is such garbage already even if the vibe-coding breaks them entirely I won't be able to tell the difference
Depending on what “AI use” means, at a certain point it’s probably just cheaper to use humans. Leasing compute isn’t cheap. Data centres aren’t cheap. Chips aren’t cheap.
What’s actually happening every time you see a “we’re sacking humans to use AI” story: the economy is fucked and layoffs would have happened regardless. This is just a fig leaf they can use to hide that fact.
Using the AI bubble as the reason investors shouldn't panic over the AI bubble.
Hopefully HP will finally die.
Reminder that HP created and maintains the biometric apartheid systems for the terrorist state of Israel
LOL. just hang around the parking lot at HP and management will call you back in an hour. Get a raise out of it.
