I think all their recent layoffs show that nobody uses oracle, and the data centers for open ai are their last best hope for future revenue.
Nobody picks oracle anymore, and everybody who's using oracle wishes they were off it and is working on projects to detach themselves from paying oracle heaps of money for software that's no better than open source alternatives.
> nobody uses oracle
Their quarterly statements say otherwise. The layoffs are not a function of declining sales, but of cutting back to conserve cash for AI build out.
