In the meantime, we can expect AI to be at the center of more layoff announcements —whether people believe the job cuts are solely the results of AI or not.

If the AI bubble pops, you can bet the layoffs will be the result of AI, though not in the way people usually mean by this. Honestly, as much as I don't want to see what it does to the world, I'm still curious what would/will happen.

You simply cannot replace people with AI. The statement itself is nonsense. Even so-called "agentic" AI cannot replace an employee in all aspects of work. You would need AGI to approach that.

Like the article mentions, it's just an excuse to fire people.

And the money trickles up to those highest on the pyramid. Classic

Welcome to generic shit slop from hardware companies i guess

Great, other companies have thought the same and they're sheepishly realizing that's not realistic. Let us know how it goes

For those unaware, HP recently secured one of the most idiotic deals I have ever seen a state-level government agree to: all laptops in Quebec purchased with public funds must be HP laptops. They said this will "encourage competition in the laptop market."

I can't wait to see this new decision blow up in HP's face.

Who could have seen this coming?

I wish I owned HP stocks so I could sell them immediately

This title is a bit funny. :D You had me in the first halve, not gonna lie.

Using AI, HP will “accelerate product innovation, improve customer satisfaction, and boost productivity,” Lores said.

I'm so glad we're currently using Dell. If we had substantial buy-in to HP products, this nonsense would all but require us to switch to another vendor.

They will save millions for a few years, but AI will make their already terrible company absolutely useless, and then go bankrupt and lose everything.

AI is a wonderful tool capable of streamlining many tasks and making some things far more efficient.

This is not what it is good for. This is idiotic. I can't wait to see this blow up in their face.

We already knew that HP was a shit company. No change there.

Only firing thousands, you can do better I dare HP to replace everyone with AI.

I'll watch the fireworks 🍿

LLMs are such an unstable technology right now, literally changing every few weeks. I don’t understand why companies are willing to fold it into their workflows in the current state.

I predict failure.

I removed every single HP device I could find in my house a few years back.

The drivers and software for their printers is such garbage already even if the vibe-coding breaks them entirely I won't be able to tell the difference

Reminder that HP created and maintains the biometric apartheid systems for the terrorist state of Israel

LOL. just hang around the parking lot at HP and management will call you back in an hour. Get a raise out of it.

Nike has an office in Memphis. They had about 30 people in HR. Now they have two and are working those people to death. The rest? Replaced with AI. No bullshit.

Nvidia currently represents 15% of the total GDP for the United States of America. That's absolutely insane and should not be remotely possible.

The AI bubble WILL burst and it's going to hurt.

To be fair, it's not like HP software could get any worse.

HP is so intentionally evil using AI might actually make their product more usable on accident

Imagine your printer launching ChatGPT to tell you print out an essay, telling you why you shouldn't replace your toner with off-brand version xD
