As someone who works at AMD not in AI, that’s how they explained it to us. Or I guess it was a bit more generic “highest growth areas” and “still hiring for positions aligned with our strategic priorities.” Which we generally took to mean AI based on the gestures broadly at the market.
hmmmm, seems like everyone’s getting fucked regardless then. I’m working on next gen MI stuff and it’s pretty hard to even get a req right now. Management hasn’t mentioned the whole “strategic priorities” thing to us, probably because if we’re not a priority, then who is? AMD didn’t really do a lot of firing before now, at least not that I’m aware of, so maybe this is how they’re explaining it
