@Harrietta420 @edandersen Well it happened in early 2000s too. Most of us hit rock bottom. We Americans are a resilient bunch! There is always opportunity somewhere just for you.

@AbendStarr @AvgLibSoc Do not give up hope. Be creative. There is plenty for everybody. Look outside Tech too. This is what we did in early 2000s after hitting rock bottom.

Is your Small Business listed in LocalBizNetwork?

[LBN @LocalBizNetwork]

@EnterpriseGro @CulturalAlan Pick a business according to your skillset - you will figure it out after falling down a few times. Still worth it!

@TimesNow 60,000 people hitting the lottery to start their own Small Business! Congratulations guys!

[LBN @LocalBizNetwork]

@barnabasdotexe Dotcom Greybeard 😂😂😂. Good one! I would say start your own Small Business and YOU be an employer! Americans were never good employees!

[LBN @LocalBizNetwork]

@polydaic Since 1999 actually 😁! Tech companies do Spring Cleaning and Winter Cleaning on a regular basis.

[LBN @LocalBizNetwork]

@JasnDavid Yep! Great opportunity to get out of Tech and start your own thing. This is like hitting the lottery! 60,000 lucky chosen ones!

@HealthRanger Well they need to improve on MAI - they are losing out to Claude in the Enterprise sector. They are ‘re-structuring’ from ground zero now!

[LBN @LocalBizNetwork]

Microsoft AI (MAI) needs to improve a lot.

• Worse Than Competitors: Despite its massive total size (~1 trillion parameters), MAI’s active footprint (35B active parameters) causes it to lag behind smaller, highly optimized models.
• Poor Coding Scores: In independent reviews, developers on platforms like Hacker News and Reddit note that MAI-Thinking-1 and MAI-Code-Flash underperform compared to rivals like Claude or DeepSeek on developer benchmarks like SWE-Bench.
• The "Clean Data" Tax: Because Microsoft strictly banned synthetic AI data or distillation from superior third-party models during its training, the model essentially had to learn from scratch. This pure approach makes it much harder to reach top-tier benchmark scores efficiently.

@edandersen Option 2: Sell it to the Americans 😁.

[LBN @LocalBizNetwork]

@olateeman Pink slips were always given Monday mornings and before holidays! It’s very ‘American’. Take the package and start your Small Business. You will not regret!

[LBN @LocalBizNetwork]

@AutismCapital Exactly! Take the money and run! Start your Small Business. Control your destiny.

[LBN @LocalBizNetwork]

@FloppyBenchAI Great opportunity to start your own Small Business. Control your destiny. They used to do this in NASA all the time - nothing new!

[LBN @LocalBizNetwork]

@Heyitstephanyy There was no AI in early 2000s. They still laid off more than this. At that time there were a lot of suicides. Hope this generation is brave. Take a deep breath and re-invent!

[LBN @LocalBizNetwork]

@reedgalen They will all become Small Business Owners, and control their destiny, like they did in early 2000s.
