Does that also hold for your GenAI initiatives? Will you continue to invest as much resources and energy into GenAI initiatives as before?
It seems to be a fact that your projects will suffer from this layoff. But it will be significantly worse if you are not willing to reduce the amount of energy/men(and women)power/money you put into GenAI.
Please consider reducing the focus on GenAI and ensure everything else doesn't fall apart completely.

If you don't, I only see the situation becoming even worse for SE (and the Community but the Community doesn't seem to be important for SE judging from what SE is doing (I am talking about SE as a company here, I am sure CMs are still caring about the Community, even without Catja and V2Blast)) in the future. And with "the situatuation becoming even worse for SE", I fear that 2 layoffs from now, even the CEO might be impacted.
Please, for the sake of god/allah/buddah/business or whatever you believe in: Don't take (any more) bets (on GenAI) you can't afford to lose (because you seem to be losing them).
