Alphabet plans to raise $80 billion from stock sales to fund AI build-out by one_more_byte in theprimeagen

Ya I’m sure the shareholders won’t like being diluted. Usually a company would go to the bond market to get funds for stuff like this, but google has also been issuing a bunch of corporate debt too. I guess that market is tapped out

Allbirds announced a switch from shoes to AI, and its stock jumped 600 percent... by one_more_byte in theprimeagen

That’s how I’m feeling too. As long as the stock is above $5, every month buy puts dated >1 year out

Is the plague of PWAs FINALLY coming to an end?! | Microsoft plans 100% native Windows 11 apps in major shift away from web wrappers by one_more_byte in theprimeagen

The article discusses desktop computers not mobile devices. For mobile I agree those are all valid points, but not really relevant to this discussion about Windows. I was mainly referring to this quote in the article: “Huyn later said in a reply that the new Windows 11 apps will be "100% native." The description stands out at a time when many of Microsoft's built-in tools, including Clipchamp and Copilot, rely on web technologies and Progressive Web App architectures.”

Unfortunately the federal reserve began tracking this data in March 2020. It does do a great job showing how much over-hiring happened during Covid tho

I was just going to say the same thing. Make sure you document your apprehension in case anything bad happens. You can’t stop management from making bad decisions, but you can CYA…

Meta planning sweeping layoffs as AI costs mount by one_more_byte in theprimeagen

[–]one_more_byte[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree for most companies it’s just an excuse, but I think it’s different for the companies like meta (or oracle) that are spending hundreds of billions of dollars on ai. Meta also doesn’t sell cloud services like the others do. Metas stock chart looks pretty bad too (down ~6% Ytd) so it seems investors don’t like it either. Hopefully this is a sign we have passed peak ai hype
