Brave’s Bloody Ax Falls: 27 Employees Sacked in Latest Cost-Cutting Massacre
In a devastating blow to the already battered workforce, Brave, the so-called "innovative" web browser and search startup, has axed a whopping 27 employees across various departments. The company’s brutal cost-cutting measures have left a trail of tears and shattered dreams in its wake.
But don’t worry, Brave executives are still raking in the dough, no doubt enjoying the finer things in life while their former employees are left to scrape by. And what’s the reason behind this bloodbath? "Cost management in this challenging economic environment," of course. Because nothing says "challenging economic environment" like a company’s reckless spending on AI-related features.
Speaking of which, Brave has been pouring millions into its AI obsession, launching its Leo chatbot on multiple platforms and integrating its own search results into the browser. Because who needs actual human interaction when you can have a cold, calculating AI assistant? And what’s the cost of developing and running these features, you ask? Oh, just the livelihoods of 27 innocent people.
But hey, at least Brave is willing to part with some of its vast resources to give users a "Leo Premium" subscription for $14.99 per month. Because nothing says "value" like paying for the privilege of using a browser’s AI features. And if you’re one of the lucky few who can afford it, you’ll get access to "better models and higher limit rates." Because what could possibly go wrong with giving users the power to create their own AI models?
It’s clear that Brave’s priorities are severely askew. Instead of investing in its human workforce, the company is choosing to lavish resources on its AI pet projects. And when the inevitable backlash comes, we’ll be sure to remember the 27 employees who were sacrificed at the altar of innovation.
