A Microsoft workplace study has uncovered how workers feel about artificial intelligence (AI), with almost two in three workers stating they don’t have enough time or energy to do their jobs.
The report compiled findings from 31,000 respondents from 31 countries as well as a deep dive into “trillions of aggregated productivity signals in Microsoft 365, along with labor market trends on LinkedIn”.
Microsoft’s 2023 Annual Work Trend Index, the fourth time the tech giant has conducted the poll, contains a lot of useful information on how professionals view their contemporary workplace, with just under half of those surveyed sharing a concern that AI will have an impact on their job security.
The report states 75% of workers now use AI in the workplace, with a feeling that the technology is a great tool at times of stress and high-intensity to allow them to concentrate on the imperative tasks. Of those who are already using AI, 78% are said to bring their own AI resources to work.
Workers overwhelmed and out of energy
The Work Trend Index presented a crucial finding that workers are feeling overwhelmed by information, 62% of workers indicated they spend too much time scanning emails and chats for information, as well as communicating and organizing instead of directly collaborating with others, and performing core duties. Two-thirds (66%) believe they do not have enough time and energy to carry out their job roles.
Alongside the AI-related announcements, there was information on new Microsoft 365 Copilot functionality (which is dependent on AI) and also the option to pay for early access to AI copilot features in Office.
Microsoft underlined three findings as key pieces of information: “digital debt costing us innovation”, “a new AI-employee alliance”, and “Every employee (requiring) AI aptitude”.

To say people are excited for the launch of Grand Theft Auto 6 might be the understatement of the year, so it’s no surprise that a new webpage that popped up then disappeared on Rockstar Games’ website has sent people into a feral frenzy.
Earlier this week (May 8), the Grand Theft Auto 6 Reddit community spotted a new placeholder page on Rockstar Games’ website relating to the upcoming sequel. This led to a flurry of analysis and speculation
BREAKING: Placeholder link for the GTA 6 cover art along with placeholder screenshot links have been found today on the Rockstar website! byu/ProudBoiiiiLol inGTA6

The screenshots codes from this morning are on the GTA 6 page in the screen part byu/Mullazade inGTA6

There has also been a post on X with over 45,000 views that says “Rockstar’s website has been updated to reference 4 screenshots & a cover art link related to GTA 6. Coupled with the new “Screens” section on the GTA 6 site, it’s all but confirmed Rockstar is close to releasing a new batch of info ”
The user GTA 6 Countdown followed up when Rockstar seemingly removed the pages. “Update: the new page (https://rockstargames.com/game/vi) was just taken down, but the code with placeholders remains in the database that was made public yesterday. Additionally, there are mentions of digital purchases (pre-orders). R* was likely preparing the website and didn’t intend to make the page public yet, so they had to hide it for now, and there’s still a good chance for announcement before Take-Two’s conference call on May 16th.”
When will Grand Theft Auto 6 be released?
We currently don’t have a specific release date. The GTA 6 trailer, which became YouTube’s most-viewed trailer launch with over 93 million views in 24 hours, teased a 2025 release, which is a huge window. We could be waiting months or over a year for the game.
However, Take-Two Interactive’s chief financial officer Lainie Goldstein mentioned that the company was anticipating a “significant inflection point […] that will culminate in us delivering new record levels of operating performance next year and beyond.” in the 2025 fiscal year, which runs from April to April, suggesting that we’ll be waiting until at least next summer for the game since the release of the most hotly anticipated sequel of all time could certainly be called an “inflection point” fiscally.
