Tin foil hat time folks.
Could Microsoft be the most evilest company to ever exist?
It appears that Microsoft are using Xbox as a testbed to see what they can get away with in terms of AI.
The US tech giant will axe 4% of its global workforce and plough money into artificial intelligence.

The problem is, if it succeeds, other companies will want to follow suit once they see a successful use case. This will no doubt cause a domino effect, presenting companies with an option to do the exact same, gutting employees all over the world to drive their own stocks higher, while Microsoft reaps the benefits of societies downfall by supplying everyone with AI as the replacement.
This fear of AI taking over has been with us for a long time, but unless I'm mistaken it looks like Microsoft might be hastily trying to bring this into existence, starting with Xbox.
It may only start in gaming but if it truly takes off you can bet it won't stop there.
