The Demise of GAFAM Necessitates Greater and Broader Awareness
One thing to like about the demise of Intel is how we correctly predicted it, based on leaks we received and published 4 years ago. Intel is now scuttling those projects we focused on. Back then people simply assumed and kept telling me nothing can/could replace Intel and - by extension - x86. How wrong were they.
This year Microsoft is apace towards ~50,000 layoffs in one year (by our tally, it culled about 29,000 in the first 6 months of 2025 and there's more to come only weeks from now).
The important thing is to keep reminding people of the issues - the thing those companies try to suppress while advertising themselves as omnipotent, omnipresent, and benevolent.
Who are those people we need to target? In a nutshell: insiders, job applicants, and consumers, especially decision-making people in large companies. If we can convince them that these emperors (like Microsoft and Intel) are without a future, the prophecy can become true.
Morale at Microsoft is really bad, based on people who work for Microsoft. █
Only hours ago a Microsoft booster wrote: "I can’t open LinkedIn without seeing a new post from a Microsoft employee who lost their job in the company’s latest round of layoffs. Around 15,000 jobs have been eliminated at Microsoft over the past couple months — the biggest cuts at the company in more than a decade." Being a Microsoft booster, he then perpetuates the Microsoft lies.
