    If you want to work in AI, they’re hiring. The layoff was sold as a way to make room for more AI headcount.

      as someone who works at AMD and on AI, this is only kinda true. While we’re not as affected by layoffs, AMD has been extremely stingy with budget this year. Maybe that will change in the coming months though

        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.
