US Federal Reserve taps Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, who just laid off 3,200 employees, to lead task force on jobs​

The Federal Reserve says its newly-announced task forces represent a "commitment to price stability and maximum employment."
The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve, the body overseeing the implementation of United States monetary policy, has announced the creation of five task forces intended to evaluate and improve the Fed's operations. In a press release, Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh named the "external advisers" who will lead each task force, ranging from economics professors to AI investors and corporate executives—executives like Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, who will preside over a task force on employment and productivity.

Yes, that Asha Sharma. The Asha Sharma who, just three days ago, announced an Xbox "reset" that will see roughly 3,200 of her employees lose their jobs by the end of the 2027 fiscal year—a reorganization that remaining developers are reportedly convinced will cause irreparable damage to some of the company's most valuable brands.

Sharma will be one of three leaders heading up the Productivity and Jobs task force, which will "assess the economic impact of new general-purpose technologies, including artificial intelligence, to inform the Federal Reserve's policy judgments." She'll be joined by Stanford economics professor Charles I. Jones—"currently on leave at Anthropic"—and Marc Andreessen: tech VC, major AI investor, and guy who believes you can improve an LLM's results by simply instructing it to be very, very smart.

"The Federal Reserve's commitment to price stability and maximum employment is unwavering. As is our resolve to pursue our mandate with rigor. The US economy has changed significantly over the last generation, and never more so than right now," Warsh said, deploying a sentence that definitely made sense. "Each task force will carefully consider whether policymakers' means and methods, analytical tools, and policy approaches can be improved upon. I am honored that the best minds from a range of disciplines have agreed to work with us to sharpen our performance as an institution."

Considering Sharma announced that Mojang and King—two of Xbox's most valuable operations—will now report directly to her, I'm impressed that she'll be able to find the time. According to the Fed, we'll be able to follow the task forces' work in updates "posted periodically" on its website.

tl;dr: The orange nigger SUCKS at appointing people. Yes, I am aware he did not appoint this jeet. But it was HIS Federal Reserve pick Warsh that appointed the jeet.

The orange nigger SUCKS.

Uh, CTR... you do realize that Obsidian is fagged up, right?

FUCK

still can't be worse than fallout 4

Please learn how to read

I did see that, however almost nobody else reading the article did so I thought it might be helpful to emphasize it.

That would require them to remember the 100K fine and the current open investigation.

Noooo don’t fuck up their blackpill high bro!!

 

[Historical Strelkov]

The funny side of this is that it makes no sense whatsoever at all.

Need I mention the incoming 600K Chinese students?

I’d like to make a little bet with you. If there are more international student enrollments than 2024, I’ll throw a burger suit on for a month. If there are less than 2024, you have to put a burger emoji in your custom title. Deal?

 

[Rome's rightful successor]

Why? Her solution is more H1Bs and you know it. No need to bring her over.

They need a fall guy if shit hits the fan.

Yeah it's completely insane. All she's known for is firing people en masse and the fed appoints her to some role on jobs.

we need to import more brownoids to harvest their taxes to send to isreal, GOY. you wouldn't get it.

Josh Sawyer, the project head, is a current-day poster on Something Awful under the name rope kid.

He was a regular Your Console Sucks poster and migrated over to Badgame for a while after SA shut that down. That whole community had a much more critical view of games and edgier communication than was common at the time. Unfortunately these days I think he's a progressive friend of the trannies, probably helps with climbing the corporate ladder.

"Sharma has no professional experience in the video game industry. And her personal experience with Xbox also seems somewhat limited; after sharing her Gamertag on social media over the weekend, curious gamers found that her Xbox play history dates back roughly one month." archived source

And now this? Quite perplexing.

If memory serves, he whined that he didn't know what gamers want anymore after Avowed bombed, didn't he?

I could doom. But I'm gonna wait and see. Obviously, the pajeeta will probably hire more of her ilk and caste to the USA.

The "I voted for this!" crowd has been awful quiet lately

Nothing says America first like Israel and India! Woooo let's gooooo!!!! Orange isn't that far from brown on the chromatic scale.

Between the 100K fine acting as a stopgap and getting caught up on how Pozzed/Bloated Soy-box was through the Xbox thread?

Ain't much happening, especially since those "Americans" fired were actually Euro

Actually, tons of them were Euros. id tech team is in Germany, Arkane is in France, Ninja Theory is in the UK, Compulsion is in Canada. If this is the type of tweet you read then its no wonder you are consistently one of the most misinformed posters here.

Trump isn't going to fuck you.

America has never been in a worse place than it is now. Even the Biden admin was preferable to this.

DO NOT REDEEM THE RESERVE

 

[Mr. Zed da Robot Poon Fed]

The funny side of this is that it makes no sense whatsoever at all.

It really doesn’t.

Trump appointed a bunch of businessmen for his Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, which includes Mark Zuckerberg, you know, the fucker that blew $73 billion on the Metaverse, a product no one wanted. And for Microsoft, Sharma isn’t even a gamer.

He’s basically all business, or at least that’s what he makes himself out to be. If that means selling out his own countrymen for a bunch of pajeets he can hire as cheap labor, he and Kevin O’Leary will do so.

Republicans have no problem blowing golden opportunities.

I assume this has to do with her previous position over Microsoft's CoreAI. Microsoft is falling apart steadily though and they've been workshopping what amounts to 'cloud computing' so I don't see any good coming from that.
