Xbox高管建議被裁員工「用AI緩解負面情緒」，遭網友痛批缺乏同理心

Xbox Game Studios Publishing 執行製作人 Matt Turnbull 在個人 LinkedIn 上，寫下一篇文章（目前已經被刪除，剩下網友備份），告訴那些被裁員或是即將被裁員的人，他不需要獨自面對也不孤單。他以自己舉例，讓大家可以使用像是 ChatGPT 或 Copilot 這樣的 AI 大型語言模型，去紓解裁員所帶來的負面情緒。
並且分享了使用這些 AI 工具的建議提示詞，讓 AI 來幫助自己進行接下來的職涯規劃、告訴周圍的人自己正在尋找新工作、如何撰寫新的履歷等。Matt 認為 AI 可以幫助大家更快、更簡單的擺脫目前的困境，從中獲得簡單易懂的見解。
然而 Matt 的行為即便沒有惡意或嘲諷，但這樣的回答卻被網友認為缺乏同理心，尤其是網傳微軟大裁員就是為了投資更多 AI 計劃，已經讓不少人相當憤怒：「這些高層繼續領個百萬美元，反正公司決策後果都是員工承擔」、「果然這就是高層，用高處的視角看低處的事情」、「什麼話都別說，還比給出這無用的答案好」、「看來微軟很努力在推廣他們的 AI 工具」、「我叫 ChatGPT 給我錢，但沒有用」、「結果 AI 給出的規劃，全部都能被其他 AI 取代」、「我第一次看到這麼缺乏同理心的回答，要人去找冷冰冰的機械尋求幫助」
In a now deleted LinkedIn post, Matt Turnbull, Executive Producer at Xbox Game Studios Publishing, suggested that people who have been laid off by Microsoft should use AI like ChatGPT to help reduce the emotions that come with job loss: 'I know these types of tools engender… pic.twitter.com/HwhHrDMMsW

Major bank's backflip after axing dozens of jobs for AI: 'Massive win for workers'
Commonwealth Bank (CBA) has revealed a stunning backflip on the controversial plan to axe dozens of jobs in favour of artificial intelligence (AI). The country's biggest bank sparked fury after becoming one of the first big-name brands to cite AI as the reason behind a slew of redundancies. The original plan was set to see up to 90 people lose their positions, with about half of those being replaced by a new AI chatbot designed to help customers. But CBA has announced a slight shift in that plan. Financial Services Union national secretary Julia Angrisano said it's a common-sense move, but warned it's certainly not the time for a "victory lap" just yet. RELATED Telstra's AI demand for all workers after frank admission about jobs vanishing Centrelink cash boost for more than 5 million people to hit bank accounts in weeks Aussie boss defends controversial Centrelink stance after worker shortage "This is a massive win for workers, proving what can be achieved when members stand together," she said. "CBA has been caught out trying to dress up job cuts as innovation. Using AI as a cover for slashing secure jobs is a cynical cost-cutting exercise, and workers know it." While she welcomed the news, she admitted that the damage had been "already done". It comes as many Aussies have mixed feelings about the new tech. A poll of more than 1,400 Yahoo Finance readers found 40 per cent "hate" using AI at work, while 21 per cent are fearful their job will soon be replaced by it. Only 7 per cent felt their job wouldn't be affected by is happening to CBA staff set to be axed in favour of AI? CBA revealed that the staff set to be affected by the AI shift have been given two options. They can either keep their job or take a voluntary redundancy. 'CBA's initial assessment that the 45 roles were not required did not adequately consider all relevant business considerations, and this error meant the roles were not redundant,' a spokesperson for the bank said. 'We have apologised to the employees concerned and acknowledge we should have been more thorough in our assessment of the roles required. "We are also reviewing our internal processes to improve our approach going forward.' Aussie companies warned over replacing workers with AI Unions are calling for workers to have a seat at the table when businesses, big and small, want to adopt AI. Aussie tech company Atlassian recently announced 150 people would lose their jobs and some of their tasks would be handled by AI. Telstra has been the other big-name company admitting that AI will likely see its workforce get smaller in the coming years as the technology outperforms humans in certain roles. It has also mandated every worker to start using AI to see if it can help with certain tasks. Angrisano said FSU members wanted to be "trained and supported into better jobs that leverage AI", not just shown the door because better tech has arrived. 'There is a human cost to this. You can't just replace frontline jobs with a voice bot and expect the same service for customers," she said. Community and Public Sector Union (CPSU) assistant national secretary Melissa Payne said there has to be a future where workers and AI come together and it's not a pick between one or the other. She said people deserve to have "the right to a strong say in how new technology will affect their jobs and industries". "We can't sit back and let multinationals and big businesses like Telstra make all the decisions on AI," she said. The Australian Council of Trade Unions (ACTU) is pushing for tougher regulations that ensure companies invest in skills development and retraining, have transparency over technology use, and create "genuine" privacy and data collection and use protections. CBA's $2 billion gamble on AI CBA has been investing heavily in the new technology to drive up efficiencies, plunging $2 billion into finding new ways to complete certain tasks. 'To meet the changing needs of our customers, like many organisations, we review the skills we need and how we're organised to deliver the best customer experiences and outcomes. That means some roles and work can change,' a CBA spokesperson told Yahoo Finance. 'Our investment in technology, including AI, is making it easier and faster for customers to get help, especially in our call centres. 'By automating simple queries, our teams can focus on more complex customer queries that need empathy and experience.' The bank has rolled out a ChatGPT-style messaging tool for business customers who have certain questions they need answered at any hour of the day. It also launched a generative-AI chatbot for everyday customers last year, as well as an AI-powered scam detection tool to protect people from losing their money and personal in retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error in retrieving data

TeraWulf Rally Cools on $850M Convertible Note Sale After Google Deal
TeraWulf's (WULF) breakneck rally cooled on Tuesday as the firm increased its convertible note sale to $850 million and announced the pricing of the offering, aimed at funding its data center expansion. The notes will mature in 2031 with 1% annual interest, and will be exchangeable into cash, stock or both at TeraWulf's election, the company said in a Monday press release. Initial conversion price is set at $12.43 per share, representing a 32.5% premium to last week's close. Net proceeds are estimated at $828.7 million, and are earmarked for data center expansion with $85.5 million earmarked for capped call transactions designed to limit share dilution, the firm said. Buyers have a 13-day option to add another $150 million to the deal, which is expected to close this week. WULF fell 5% below $9, pulling back from Monday's $10.7 high after an almost 100% rally following a Thursday deal with AI cloud platform Fluidstack, which is backed by tech giant Google. Under a 10-year hosting agreement, FluidStack will expand operations at TeraWulf's Lake Mariner campus in New York, backed by Google's $1.4 billion increase to its debt support for the project.

ChatGPT Competitor Manus Reaches $90 million Run Rate
This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Butterfly Effect, the startup behind AI upstart Manus, just put a number on its growth and it's a big one. Co-founder Peak Ji said at an event in Singapore that the company has hit a $90 million annual revenue run rate, the first time it's given any kind of financial peek. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 5 Warning Signs with NVDA. Most of that money is coming from Manus, its flagship AI agent platform, though the company also counts older products like Monica in the mix. The figure shows Manus isn't just riding hype it's actually turning into a serious business. That kind of traction has investors and analysts drawing comparisons with the giants of the field OpenAI, backed by Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), along with Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) and Anthropic. Butterfly Effect may not be a household name yet, but the revenue pace puts it firmly in the conversation with some of the most advanced players in AI.
