Have any of these companies gotten anywhere after dumping people to focus on ai whatever that even means?

They'll be fine for a time until competition emerges and their products become obsolete.

I’m not really sure Cisco would fall even if the company fell. Cisco isn’t just a company that makes networking equipment, they’ve been influencing the architecture and paradigms behind the Internet for so long that their influence would be felt for years, even if they were to disappear today..
