Problem this even sounds like they are selling it to investors instead “the audience”…

@GamingBot oh no! In hindsight it looks like all those #AI tokens weren't worth paying for, nor were the 14 layers of management but who could have thought so amirite?

Has laying off a big chunk of your staff after bad leadership fucks everything up ever actually worked? It feels similar to when private equity comes in and does a leveraged buyout. The underlying problems just get worse as the execs strip the good parts of the company out to eek out as much profit as possible before the company collapsed in a couple years.
I guess time will tell!
