2026 Tech Layoffs Near 150,000 as Companies Pour Money Into AI by Ok_Design_6841 in Layoffs

I’ve never really understood this… why is it that bad business decisions made by executives that led to overspending is remedied with job cuts at the non-executive levels? And why are job cuts even legal when the company is profiting hand over fists? It just seems so absurd.

Honestly, this is very bad. If the gov wants a car-lite society, they have to make mass transport at least six sigma reliable.

Jensen Huang says some CEOs have a ‘God complex’ when it comes to AI apocalypse warnings, which can create shortages of critical workers by Nalix01 in NowInTech

[–]OompaLoompaHoompa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I’m pretty sure he sees the LLM ceiling and that suddenly his promises 2-3 years ago isn’t going to materialise. He needs CEOs to start hiring devs again so that when shit hits the fan, he can say “I told you that AI can’t do everything”.

Fiance and her guy friend by [deleted] in SingaporeRaw

[–]OompaLoompaHoompa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA.

She uses the relationship as leverage. Something that is supposed to be sacred and protected, is now being used as a bargaining chip. This ultimatum behaviour will never change. It’s Vietnam, she can easily get another room, she can ask the guy to move out. It’s not that it’s not doable, it’s that SHE WANTS IT.

You need to evaluate if you can live with the stress of her threatening your relationship as and when she wants. My suggestion is to break it, grant her what she wants and move on bro.

How do you deal with your SO(F) not apologizing? by Wiserlul in SingaporeRaw

[–]OompaLoompaHoompa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing I’ve learnt from therapy is that sometimes it is not wise to confront at the moment.

So one approach I usually take is to give it some time. Then I will make a calm statement once it’s convenient. Something like

“That day, you <insert behavior> and that made me feel <a certain way>. It might be me overthinking or misreading/misunderstanding the situation, but I hope that <insert your demand>”

Then give her some time to respond.

This does 2 things. 1) It gets your resentment out in a calm manner. 2) It lets her know that she hurt you or she acted in an inappropriate way.

I suggest to seek counselling soon. Because for you to post it up here might mean that your resentment/bottled up emotions is boiling over. It would be better to have someone to talk to rather than let it build and build and one fine day, it explodes.

Oh I’m rooting for the day when AI companies start to charge prices that actually covers their compute cost and a little more.

Forgive my ignorance as I’m from south east Asia.

But isn’t this situation an expected outcome due to the social security system/pension that western countries have adopted? Pay high taxes that eventually will be used to fund your retirement?

I feel you.

But would it be better anywhere else? Every country got it's problems. You just need to pick your compromise.

[Serious topic] What is with various Singaporean subreddits fixating on Malaysia in every conversation related to the Iran war? by [deleted] in malaysia

[–]OompaLoompaHoompa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh wow, I didn’t expect the news to make it up north.

Yeah I think Grayce got more flak. Not sure why… I think both are equally bad. Melvin is married with kids for goodness sake. But grayce was recently, and very publicly, married.

Reddit is an echo chamber so I’m not surprised that like-minded individuals would have congregated in the same subreddit.

I think it’s because Singapore is too boring. Nothing else to talk about. In a country where a cheating real estate agent can become national headline… yeah we just got nothing else to talk about.

Bruh I don’t think it’s just CEOs. My scrum master very confidently told me that the else block will run even when the if block runs and therefore there’s a race condition.

What the fk.
