    This is all over the news and internet. Everybody has an opinion. It is not that complicated, as a private company, they can fire whoever they want, just because these workers protest (on whatever), does not give them a shield.

      Tell that to the Iranian backed terrorists Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthi’s. By the the Iranian Islamic Regime, not the Iranian people. The Iranian mostly support Israel

    the fact that this goes on the internet is actually reassuring. Google is still human. what would be scary would be if this news doesnt go out at all because Google or someone from Google would tell them to shut up or face ”dark consequences”. Mob style beating or intimidation or poisoning. That would be scary. So for me this means that even the person who fire them are just doing his job of following maybe things like ”not to be politically engaged” or ”has to maintain neutrality” kind of stuff. That even the person firing maybe dont agree with his own action but hes just doing what hes paid to do.

    April 18, 2024 at 7:27 pm

    Nope. Wrong Davey. It’s not so isolated. They went beyond and it will be complicated to defend.
    Maybe it would have been better for these kids to keep the politics out of the work place and appreciate having a good paying job? If not, they should have just quit, like most normal adults would have done.. if it was that important.
    Bye bye kids ????. ????????

Can a handful of engineers really do the work of an army of consultants? That’s the bet behind Ode with Anthropic — the joint venture dedicated to embedding forward-deployed engineers in enterprise firms, backed by Anthropic, Blackstone, Hellman & Friedman, Goldman Sachs and others.

On this episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, Rebecca Bellan sits down with Ode’s leaders Chris Taylor and Eddie Siegel, who founded Fractional AI, the applied AI services startup that Ode acquired earlier this year to serve as the new venture’s core. The three discuss why so many enterprise AI pilots never make it to production and why they think AI-native services are about to become one of the biggest categories in tech.

00:00 Intro

00:30 Fractional AI becomes “Ode with Anthropic”

1:13 Why non-AI companies are the real AI winners

2:04 Working with Blackstone, Anthropic, and beyond

3:05 Inside a real project: fixing LogicGate’s bottleneck

7:29 How long does it take from hypothesis to production?

9:19 Measuring ROI: revenue, efficiency, and evals

16:37 Model choice vs. workflow redesign, and why it’s Claude-first

23:10 Hiring generalists over specialized AI talent

26:39 Can this scale without turning into another consulting firm?
