Thread regarding Lumen Technologies layoffs

Like Mother , Like Son

Jake Johnson, co-founder, is Kate's son. Focus is outsourcing using AI.

Anyone know if this company is a vendor to Lumen?

Note the reference to IIT which is a big Indian university system (multiple campuses across India).

Lumen just put on the wedding ring with Microsoft to do Lumen workloads in Azure using MS's AI. Many companies are trying to consolidate work loads using AI. Azure is one option to do that. Lumen is offloading most the new AI hires they had just done because MS Azure provides resources to help with AI. Lumen will basically just be a non-official subsidiary of MS.
