2015 & 2025: A Company That Has Learned Nothing

Look back at the layoffs from 2015. The excuses are the same. Too many layers, too much inefficiency, too much redundancy, too slow with technology, costs out of control, and a business model in perpetual catch-up mode.

The only thing certain about this company is its ability to keep spinning and spinning without actually solving anything. This was a broken company then, and it’s broken now.


Here we go

  • Meta will lay off roughly 600 employees within its artificial intelligence unit, a spokesperson confirmed to CNBC.
  • The cuts come as Meta has poured billions of dollars into AI to keep pace with rivals like Google and OpenAI.
  • Meta’s chief AI officer, Alexandr Wang, announced the layoffs in a memo to staff.

Not in the third inning?

Just heard CS talking about AI. All at beginning of this -- in terms of efficiency. I intemperate this as CS is looking for AI to increase efficiency. Not too many folks on this board have talked about AI at Wells. Only comments about tech is that it is horrible and way behind.


Are you ready to hand over your biometric data?

An article on the Entrepreneur site states for JP Morgan staff wanting to access their new $3B headquarters building, they will need to provide their biometric data.

Considering how much of a crush RK has on JP Morgan's CEO, Stifel should be breaking ground on a new headquarters soon that can only be accessed with biometrics.


Mainframe is in trouble

Commonwealth Bank, Australia's largest bank and in fact the largest company, has successfully migrated their core banking system off the mainframe onto SAP S/4 Hana on an AWS cloud system. They expect to retire their mainframe in 18 months, and it's now only processing credit card transactions.
If Comm Bank can successfully retire their mainframe, then anyone can do it. The argument for keeping the mainframe has always been it's crucial for high transaction high security environments, but this proves that is not the case.
It's only a matter of time before other FSI companies, and governments, follow the same path.


I finally get the BE strategy in Tech

So here’s what it is. Try to turn tech into a revenue generator by laying off a ton of people and licensing our technology with the new dept she created. Sorry folks that’s all you get when you pay someone $20 million a year. For $25 million you could have gotten a college graduate who learned AI by studying not by watching you tube. It’s Epic dude.

Bank branches

I’ve seen around my city and district, Wells Fargo is adding in new or additional ATM’s at branches, new TCR’s which allow tellers to deposit or withdraw directly from the machine next to them without needing to buy money from the vault pushing forward efficiency. Yet we still have drive thrus??? Non-revenue building and a dying generation who refuses to move forward.

What’s the plan here WF?


Acquisition Target

Fifth Third just announced they are purchasing Comerica to form the 9th largest US lender. The current administration is going to be a lot more open to consolidation. M&T is no longer be able to compete with the larger institutions, especially with their reliance on commercial real estate. Despite huge investments in technology, it's obvious that M&T can't keep up (as evidenced by the failed People's United conversion and an antiquated web banking platform). These layoffs could be an effort to make the company a more appealing target.


Wow! Some major AI news

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Oct. 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) and OpenAI today announced a 6 gigawatt agreement to power OpenAI’s next-generation AI infrastructure across multiple generations of AMD Instinct GPUs. The first 1 gigawatt deployment of AMD Instinct MI450 GPUs is set to begin in the second half of 2026.

AMD’s strong leadership in high-performance computing systems and OpenAI's pioneering research and advancements in generative AI places the two companies at the forefront of this important and pivotal time for AI.

Under this definitive agreement, OpenAI will work with AMD as a core strategic compute partner to drive large-scale deployments of AMD technology starting with the AMD Instinct MI450 series and rack-scale AI solutions and extending to future generations. By sharing technical expertise to optimize their product roadmaps, AMD and OpenAI are deepening their multi-generational hardware and software collaboration that began with the MI300X and continued with the MI350X series. This partnership creates a true win-win for both companies, enabling very large-scale AI deployments and advancing the entire ecosystem.


Dead end tech

Honeywell is a direct road to career obsolescence. Five years as an engineer and the most modern thing I have seen is a windows 7 controlled robot.. that doesn’t work.
AI… forget about it. You think you’re going to get a modern video card on that six hundred dollar laptop budget?
Meanwhile you hear rumors and stories of gleaming buildings in Asia where everyone has a phd and works for lunch money. All the best tools and a bus ride home.
Thinking of taking that offer? There is a reason Honeywell is the only one hiring. Tech job equivalent of a garbage picker.
Run and leave Honeywell off your resume if you can.


98% of us are now AI trained? Really?

Nosferatu Robin was announcing to finance media that with BNY’s updated Eliza platform, 98% of employees are trained on AI.

Rumpled Robin said, 98% of BNY employees have received generative AI training and regularly use Eliza for tasks like check processing and code writing.

Gee, am I doing that now? I didnt know I could do that? I must be part of the ‘gifted’ 2%. We need to put this on our resumes.


Tech jobs not worth holding on to Stop overselling yourself to your employer, quit legacy work instantly, insist on working on latest tech only.

Stop overselling yourself to your employer, quit legacy work instantly, insist on working on latest tech only. Ask them to use AI for old legacy maintennace work.

Tech jobs not worth holding on to Instead take deep look at how your earnings are going back into pockets of corporates and government - the overpriced loq quality home u bought, the over priiced car , the MRP marked up gorcery and Medicines, the status sysbol schools you send your kids to - wake up middle class, u signed up for slavery to look good among peers in society


Cisco on Peter Schiff Show

Here: https://youtu.be/LWO2ohVTXLA?t=1514. He talks about how Cisco loaned it's own money, and as many of the companies went bankrupt; our gear was sold on the open market. He started the discussion how an AI bubble could potentially play out.


IT CIO

Looks like Ramnik is in for the long haul. Get your white shirts out. Learn to work with Deloitte (DoLittle). His buddies from Deloitte are circling the wagon. The CTO team will be the first impact. Bank and P&C next.

The sinking ship is sinking fast. Time to jump ship.


LBT steal the credit? Teams at Nvidia and Intel have been working in secret on jointly developed processors for a year

The work began around a year ago, and preliminary agreements were reached by Intel's then-CEO Pat Gelsinger and Nvidia's Jensen Huang even before that. (A year ago, Joe Biden was president, though no one suggested his administration was involved, either.)

--> Did LBT steal the credit without giving credit to PG who worked with Jensen on the joint product a year ago ?

Whatever happened to "Big Data" ?

I don't hear much about "Big Data" anymore. Was it a fad? Did brute force processing of big data prove unnecessary? Did business choose and anoint a particular vendor's product or has brute force been replaced by AI?

Viya was originally about massively parallel processing but has the market settled on a solution to that kind of data processing or moved beyond that idea? Technically superior products don't necessarily succeed if others are faster to market or market conditions change, right? What has happened?
