alt Hacker News26 Oct: Microsoft offers voluntary buyouts to 60,000 employees as AI leads to efficiency push
It's just a wild theory, but maybe there are still too much employees left, standing in the way of AI? I would try firing another 60,000 first.

Ugh. My sarcasm detector is down. Shouldn't have hosted on MS servers.
No one knows if this is AI related, but it's easy to imagine that where changes written by AI fail in production, if AI can't find the solution (which will be common as AI access to production systems is typically reduced), then the devs won't either, or at least it will take them some time.
