🇨🇳 By 2026, Microsoft reduced its presence in China: 15 branches closed, exit from retail and production. 📉 Key facts: - Reduction of 2,000+ jobs at partner Wicresoft and 400 Azure employees. - Production of Surface and Xbox moved out of the PRC. - China's share of revenue dropped to 1.5%. ☁️ But the company is not leaving completely: retains business with ByteDance and Shein, and access to OpenAI models for Chinese corporations. Strategy: risk minimization while maintaining profitability.

🚀 Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth gave a harsh response to an employee requesting more days off thanks to AI. He called the idea "stupid" and stated that technology is needed to increase workload, not for leisure. 🗣️ "Ask your parents about career growth" — that's how Bosworth responded to the question about reviving the "Meta Days" program. Later, he apologized for the harshness. 📉 While Jeff Bezos predicts a rise in single-income households, Meta chooses the path of labor intensification. AI should create more products, not free time. #Meta #AI #Labor #Bosworth #Technology
