| schestowitz[TR2] | IBM a great company, but many companies of jobs offered in the past can easily be outsourced to low-cost countries. If an organization as powerful doesn’t adopt this strategy, the competition will. Lowering costs and increasing efficiencies has always been the hallmark of sustainability. It’s always been prudent to keep shareholders happy, | Sep 22 04:14 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | It’s never good being one of the last rats on a sinking ship. IBM may do well at services, but software is all acquisitions and squeezing the cash cow while the best innovative talent gets the heck out once they figure out there is little in the way of true leadership and vision. It’s been a sad 10 years. Glad to say farewell - the grass is greener even in this climate. | Sep 22 04:14 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | IBM should really focus on what it has been doing very well for decades: enterprise-wide computing hardware. Invest more in Power, mainframe, Linux, storage, and quantum innovation that serves as the infrastructure backbone to run workloads and applications in any organization. Work with partners around data center management and sustainability. I do feel we should double down on what truly sets us apart from other IT and services | Sep 22 04:16 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | I think it'll take a decade or so before firms start to make big money on AI | Sep 22 04:16 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Microsoft's copilots are a joke (worse than Clippy), OpenAI is solid but revenue is dismal, Anthropic makes even less, Google is still struggling but they are making some inroads as they are baking AI in existing tools (still no revenue). Consulting is struggling to sell anything AI related as use cases are still scarce and talent/resources is way too limited/expensive. | Sep 22 04:16 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | IBM's AI tech is a joke. Until ChatGPT came on the scene Arvin had it buried in IBM Research's basement. The last couple of years has been about how to spin another company's success. It is so transparent and so obvious. "You can fool some of the people some of the time, but not all the people all the time". I doubt Arvind learned about what Lincoln said in school. | Sep 22 17:23 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Now that every IBMer has had a chance to use it due to these id--tic challenges I think it is very clear it su-ks bigly. It's lacking core features and it's a laughable joke compared to AI you can use in the consumer space that's completely free. I would say we're playing catch-up, but let's get real – we will never catch up. | Sep 22 17:23 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | This latest layoff has been targeting designers who could've made this a very cool and easy to use product which it clearly is not. AskIBM is the most useless thing I've ever seen. It does nothing useful, is not easy to use, and is hampered by stupid limiting engineering decisions because IBM is a run by cheapskates. We aspire to mediocrity. | Sep 22 17:23 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | IBM may be a profitable company but it run by unethical CEO and his unethical executives, which makes it an unethical company to do business with. No amount of Bluewash and technology buzzwords from Alvind and his Pipmunks in the press can change that. IBM pays to have articles in the press about their so-called successes in AI and quantum, while other technology companies like Microsoft and Google are miles ahead in the game. Simp | Sep 22 17:23 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | ly moving jobs to lower cost counties like India does not translate into ground breaking research and development. As has been pointed out many times it takes 3 engineers in the US to do what it takes 6 or more engineers in India to do. India is extremely bureaucratic and inefficient in it's processes and not going to improve anytime soon. | Sep 22 17:23 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | At the end of the day you get what you pay for - if you pay peanuts, you hire monkeys. | Sep 22 17:23 |
