| schestowitz[TR3] | > that you feel that way. That's a strong statement — and I appreciate you | Jul 28 15:30 |

| schestowitz[TR3] | Hi, | Jul 28 15:30 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | Thank for for the sincere reply. From what I can gather, reading between the lines, there will still be some LLM slop thrown into the mix. | Jul 28 15:30 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | If LLM slop is not avoided, then we cannot link to the site anymore, as much as I appreciate some of the original content. | Jul 28 15:30 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | It's not that I feel strongly about it, I just think many of us agree that the right thing to do is to shun machine-generated text. | Jul 28 15:30 |

| schestowitz[TR3] | Microsoft’s leader is essentially saying they laid off employees not due to financial struggles, but because those workers didn’t fit into the company’s AI-focused strategy. The repeated mentions of “unlearning” and “learning” suggest that some employees’ skills have become outdated. Rather than invest in retraining, the company opted to hire fewer workers with more relevant expertise. | Jul 28 19:46 |
