Odd - IBM Hiring MORE Humans

https://www.techspot.com/news/111343-ibm-triple-entry-level-hiring-roles-told-ai.html

. . .

   The short ... IBM initially dropped a bunch of humans
   as the AI glitter took hold. But NOW it has realized
   that AIs have their place, but if you want innovation
   and creativity you have to hire hot young humans.

   Oracle apparently hasn't got that yet - massive
   layoffs. Thinks AI will solve all their issues.
   To hell with the damned annoying humans !

   Got Oracle stock ? DUMP it. No more 'vision', the
   bean-counting accountants are running things and
   the bosses are off chasing teenaged trim on their
   super-yachts.

   Some view IBM as old and clunky ... but that's not
   really true. It's always been a very adaptive and
   future-focused company. Half of what 'other people'
   come out with, IBM tech/research is behind it. They
   are perfectly embedded in the industry, everywhere
   they need to be.

   AND they still sell mainframes - those sexy Big
   Black Boxes with huge specs (and branded RedHat
   is the favorite OS).

   Ah, for just one of those Big Black Boxes ! I think
   they're reasonably priced in the low eight figures ...
   depending on options .......  :-)
