Microsoft has confirmed it is to axe another 9000 with its continued push into AI. I just find it incredible because for me AI is NOT the answer in any way shape or form.....

Weird. The cuts apparently include cancellation of several games that were planned and many of them will hit the Xbox division.

I would've thought that the increased productivity that Copilot theoretically gives developers would have resulted in the reduced staff still being able to finish those games.

Yeah, from that perspective this reads roughly like when the Zoom CEO started forcing his own people back into the office. Basically tells the market that your company has no real faith in the claims it makes about its products.
