If we don't change fast enough, we're done. If we change but in the wrong way, we're also done. Basically, there are very few paths in which Oracle will be okay, and many more where we're done.

It's DONE!
"Well, I close my eyes
Only for a moment and the moment's gone
All my dreams
They pass before my eyes with curiosity
Dust in the wind
All they are is dust in the wind
Same old song
Just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do
Crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see
Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind
Oh, oh
Now don't hang on
Nothin' lasts forever but the earth and sky
Well, it slips away
And all your money won't another minute buy
Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind
Dust in the wind
Everything is dust in the wind
Everything is dust in the wind"

@am
bailout = magical thinking
@an IMO the posts have very consistently predicted that Oracle is in financial trouble. I'm not going to tell you what to do, but your plan B may want to include leaving the company as soon as you can.
@am
no chance
So we are employees. Right? We can contribute, or go where is better? Or? What is going on with those post and all over the place.
Government bailout?
OP doesn't see a path out because there isn't one.
Bankruptcy.
OP, So what do you see as the path out of this mess?
If OpenAI doesn't become profitable quickly enough to pay their RPOs we're done.
If oracle can't pay our data center contractors or our bond interest we're done.
If customers keep moving to less expensive AI we are done.
Guess what, almost none of our risks are within our control.
