NASA announced LLMs in early days (years ago) - it seemed like they wanted to understand their own document libraries! What else could be inferred here? mass layoffs plus "people substitutes" ? is there a more diplomatic way to see this?

The only connection between "they wanted to understand their own document libraries" and "mass layoffs" is potentially "increased efficiency leads to needing less people for the same job". If there's anything else, please let me know.

And if it's that, then are you suggesting to not implement a certain technological efficiency tool in order to keep (now clearly redundant) jobs? That has never worked long-term in the history of mankind, AFAIK.

> What made you choose memgraph? ... And then Memgraph showed me the cost. That kind of sold me for time for us to be able to do that. It's an ad post about memgraph.

Yes, domain is memgraph and it seems to be a marketing case study.

This is an absurd claim.

I can't think of anything that screams "incompetent management" more than this. So, to find a subject matter expert, you're going to "extract skills" and "extract resumes" to answer abstract questions about your staff... without ever once.. just _talking_ to your staff?

What a cold and bizarre future these people think we want to live in.

Meanwhile can we use technology to improve the level of connectivity I have and experience as an employee? Can you please stop asking LLMs to "extract" things about me into goofy automated pipelines? If you want skilled workers then you need to demonstrate skilled management. This is all the exact opposite of that.
