I wouldn't consider this necessarily doom and gloom

IBM has done a lot of good lately in regards to affordable performance
computing freedom with OpenPOWER and helping to bring the Raptor TALOS 2
and Blackbird to life - no other company would take and implement
suggestions from a small player let alone assist them with development.

Although at the same time they have done a lot of H1B bullshit (sadly
IBM is more indian than american now) and they love to make surveillance
software.
