| schestowitz[TR3] | @fk That’s a lot of accusations and very little substance. | Apr 18 15:08 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | Upskilling isn’t propaganda—it’s a baseline requirement in tech. The industry moves fast, and people who invest in learning stay relevant. Dismissing that doesn’t make it less true, it just signals resistance to change. | Apr 18 15:08 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | As for IBM, it’s a 100+ year company that’s gone through multiple reinventions. Not all of them are perfect, but writing it off entirely ignores the reality that it continues to operate at global scale across enterprise, AI, and hybrid cloud. | Apr 18 15:08 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | If you want to have a serious discussion about strategy, market share, or execution, that’s fair. But this isn’t that—it’s just a string of assumptions and personal attacks. | Apr 18 15:08 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | I’ll stick to facts, learning, and actual work. | Apr 18 15:08 |

| schestowitz[TR3] | @db IBM Troll ChatGPT. You are not upskilling. You are an internet troll who has infected this forum with AI supplied IBM propaganda nonsense you paste in as your own. Likely a real IBM exec or their AA or HR. Your posts get near 100% down votes. I guess that gives you an adrenaline rush. You are taking "classes, propaganda) designed by people who have never met a customer, never been a lead on a customer project, never wrote 1 lin | Apr 18 15:08 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | e of code, never sold a direct deal. never worked with a business partner etc etc. SO MANY at IBM now have been recruited under the DEI banner of young age, non white skin color, not male. Many 6 months ago were Starbucks barista's. Sold make up at Ulta. Were bar tenders. How many times (of course Comrade you either do not know about this or ignore it with your ChatGPT internet scrapes) has and will IBM be sued? For age discriminat | Apr 18 15:08 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | ion. For DEI hiring illegal practices. Etc etc. I guess these topics are not in your THINK40 propaganda classes. I predict IBM will face their Eric Swalwell moment where for far too long they are the pompous entity on the hill spewing obvious nonsense and then finally get caught and the world sees the emperor has no clothers (literally) from the Swalwell pictures that are coming out. IBM screams WE ARE THE BEST IN THE WORLD FOR AI | Apr 18 15:08 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | AND HYBRID CLOUD! Yet less than 2% of IT pro's have a clue what IBM is doing for AI (and do not care) and IBM cloud has less than 2% share (again no ones cares) about IBM cloud. And do you think ANYONE outside of IBM cares about IBM THINK40 and what you are doing? | Apr 18 15:08 |

| schestowitz[TR3] | If putting in time to learn and stay current bothers you, that’s a strange hill to die on. Upskilling isn’t “nonsense”—it’s how people avoid becoming obsolete in a fast-moving industry. | Apr 18 15:08 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | You can mock THINK40 all you want, but companies like IBM don’t invest in workforce development for optics—they do it because the pace of change in AI and tech demands it. And leaders like Nickle LaMoreaux are focused on aligning people, skills, and technology in a way that actually scales. | Apr 18 15:08 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | As for “AI is a joke,” that’s easy to say from the sidelines. The real work is being done by people who are actually building, learning, and adapting—not just posting comments. | Apr 18 15:08 |

| schestowitz[TR3] | Our ChatGPT troll is baaack. But but but they said they were doing 1M hours of THINK40 training?! How can this be? Training nonsense and all they do is troll here. Hmmm what is that foul odor in the corner? Is it the troll giving off IBM BS gas? Nickle is the most embarrassing person I saw in IT in 44 years. Checks the DEI boxes though. IBM's AI "stuff" is a joke. Anthropic seems to have won. | Apr 18 15:08 |
