‼️ EU governments approved a GDPR change to let companies train AI on Europeans' personal data without consent.
It makes AI training a possible "legitimate interest", judged case by case. Parliament must still agree.
Max Schrems calls it a "digital expropriation" of Europeans.

$MSFT offers 60,000 employees a voluntary exit.
60K Y’all!!
First time this has ever been offered at Microsoft and it will affect employees in India, The United States, Canada, and the UK at level 70 or below…
Employees find out in a few hours if they are being targeted for this.
This just makes me think that H127 layoffs sound intense. Is this a pre-layoff round?
Also makes me wonder if they changed some scheduled layoffs due to be called out by @VP. Peace offering? 🤔 Timing is just interesting.
More to come.
$MSFT Microsoft's job cuts aren't done, and Xbox is where to watch next.
Asha Sharma is reportedly planning three more rounds: this month, November and January. 1,868 jobs are gone against a 3,200 target, so roughly 1,300 more are coming.
Spreading cuts across a whole year is a choice. It keeps the margin story moving and leaves everyone who's left waiting. I'm watching for the October round.

Interviewed an engineer friend who works at a traditional major bank.
Very interesting observations:
- Junior engineers are not allowed to push code with AI. Claude Code & Codex are banned from
- Senior engineers can freely use Claude Code & Codex, but only to check their and others work.
- If you push AI-generated PRs, you will get a bad rep within the organization.
- They still have a QA department that does all the reliability on their software.
- He only uses Claude for his personal projects, which there is a lack of, because he works 9 to 7.
Sincerely asking what happens to these people.
If you are not using the frontier technology, it's either that the institution gets replaced, or that eventually, these people get laid off to realize suddenly that the world has moved on, and they just stopped in the pre-Claude Code era.
Stop crying about losing your @bot files/work and do something about it. AI's making y'all lazy.
Here's a writeup on how to do it with @cursor_ai cloud projects, which you already have access to.
