Thread regarding Oracle Corp. layoffs

On the recent Quarterly earnings, Larry said:

“As an application company, we knew we had to start generating our applications. We just couldn't do it with armies of people anymore. We still need people, don't get me wrong, but the number of people we need is substantially less. We can build/generate much better applications than we can hand-build. We've been working on these AI application generators for some time, and we're actually using them. The thing is, we're not just building application generators. We're building application generators, and then we're building the applications, which gives us insights to make the application generator better.”

Real work like implementing new features in the database stack can’t really be done by AI alone. I think the ai data centers are a diversion tactic to distract from the real end goal of crypto mining.

@a9 bingo. And CEO (whatever his title is, he's the real Owner/CEO) is sales guy #1. Same thing explains Trump, Trump is ALWAYS in sales mode. Lot of stuff makes more sense when you know this.

Can those re--rds even comprehend that we never generate greenfield apps, and it always an extension of existing legacy stacks, where AI generation of code can cover around 5% of effort? These boomers really think AI is magic.

@a3

In the AI era, I would think not too many human testers left in high cost regions, such as North America

That's the thing with Larry - he always claims we're using stuff at least 18 months before we actually are... it's Sales speak...
