Imagine failing this hard at your job and keeping it.
And I know his job is to keep the stock price high… but 28 percent growth over the last five years in tech is still failing at your job.

Besides the usual CEO shenanigans, they really want AI to succeed, to replace usually leftist intellectuals with a far-right AI.
I want cold fusion, cancer to be cured for 1 dollar, and flying ponies. But I know I’m not getting those.
They aren’t going to get true AI either.
Jesus. This puts workers at, what, 150-200k laid off this year? Awful.
But I do like that part about mandatory power grid guarantees. If we lived in a reasonable country that would be a federal regulation.
Yeah. Wisconsin sticking up for itself.
And Oracle’s only angle was, “You’ll regret this. People will go elsewhere!”
Seriously, I don’t see what data centres give their hosts. They barely require a workforce after setup, they rip through resources, they fuck with the environment, they offer no municipal services, and they’re eyesores. At best they’re a form of property tax revenue and I guess rates revenue.
let’s just say $100k if there’s the random custodial engineer in the mix. That $2.1 billion in salary. They reduced headcount 13% in 2025 and this would bea 15% from that. Probably cash strapped and about to go bust. Good.
Good. Let em burn
You say that like it wasn’t the goal

Why is this news for a site like Jerusalem Post?
because everyone else already posted this 6 months ago
"The global race for dominance in artificial intelligence is turning into one of the most expensive and turbulent corporate competitions in history.
Tech giants Amazon, Microsoft, Alphabet, and Meta are expected to spend about $600 billion on AI infrastructure during 2026."
…
GODDAMMIT. I just realized they’re speedrunning the creation of AM.
But is it smart enough to turn to Darwin at the silicon or the molecular hardware layer, before the AI winter is here? Because it will be fimbulwinter this time.
Fuckin hopefully not dude, i don’t wanna see am spring into existence. I still have a mouth to scream with and I’d prefer to keep It
That is insane.
Start forcing users to use AI
lose staff
Fire staff so that AI can take over
lose staff
Find out AI can’t replace the users, get devalued
lose staffseems pretty toxic
My last day at a dumpster fire AI slop company is next week, and I can’t wait.
How are you feeling now?
bet they woulda been fired even if ai was generously adopted
Are you americans ready for the bailout? Open your wallets wide!
I too see it coming.
email/call your reps pre-emptively and say no bailouts
Maybe I might use Qemu/KVM instead of Oracle Virtual box cause of their controversies
Oracle Virtual box - yeah company i used to work for got sued by oracle for using virtualbox. well extensions for it. fyi guys oracle tracks ips of everyone downloading it and their legal team will contact your company and shakedown the money .
My former employer just blocked oracle.com when they got the same letter.
Devastating exititis.
Ellison: job
creatordestroyer.People shouldn’t be working for super villains.
People stand around wondering why the fuck these companies are able to do what they do and these billionaires the same. WELL BECAUSE YOU WORK FOR THEM CHAD. IT’S LITERALLY YOUR FAULT!
DO NOT ANTHROMORPHISE LARRY ELISION
In a shitty job market, a job for the supervillain is better than starving and being homeless.
This rhetoric comes from a place of privilege.
It’s not shitty enough to completely leave your ethics at the door. You might need to take a little less pay, or work on something less interesting (although we’re talking about Oracle here).
Somebody who landed a job at Oracle had options. That is until today. Now they have 21,000 other people to compete with.
It’s the people somewhere like Nvidia I have some empathy for. They thought they were building gaming tech and they’ve ended up building the apocalypse.
Lmao, they are quite literally saying it is the suffering peoples fault. Evil supervillains literally find and abuse any leverage they can get to make people work for them, depriving them of any other option. That’s why they’re supervillains to begin with.
Fire Larry and sell his stock and his yachts and you’ll be in the black again.
You’re missing the point here…
