Imagine HR departments across the world replacing people for the hot garbage that is AskHR, then imagine the McDonald's order taking system that they just fired IBM for running your health care and banking. Would you get on a plane, train, or automobile running some version of WatsonX? Would you even tr [03:42] schestowitz[TR2] ust WatsonX to tell you the time correctly? How long before the body counts and the lawsuits?

Remember the CFO committed in 1st qs earnings call to an additional 1 billion in savings for 2024. (thats approx 10k of headcount in first world countries More in 2nd and 3rd world countries) AI has proven far far more effective than anyone anticipated and its reducing head count via automation far faster. NOTE this is happening across all industries and not just IBM. Meta w [03:42] schestowitz[TR2] ent down 25% on their headcount and they have not lost a beat. Expect IBM to follow that lead. Well get an inkling into IBMs progress on AI adoption this Wed. Remember AK above was just talking about back office tasks, but IBM expanded that quite aggressively in 2nd q to include SW automation, and Consulting perform non-customer facing tasks.

[08:37] schestowitz[TR2][08:37] schestowitz[TR2]Almost the entire employee base, including non-technical folks, uses Linux laptops. I use Zorin (Linux). Kailash's push to avoid all enterprise deals saved us yesterday.
