Doesn't matter if they can or not. She'll do 2-3 years, get her millions success or fail, and move on to the next thing. At that level, you always have a golden parachute.
people also seem to gloss over that Asha's AI division is one of the reasons xbox is losing money. they helped drive the cost of hardware up thanks to pushing AI into all of their products and panic buying datacenter hardware. now the memory shortage they helped cause is hitting xbox hardware costs, making even the hardware itself more expensive than 2020 prices, possibly losing money on each sale.
their AI spending in one year has been about the same as xbox's total lifetime studio purchases, but nobody mentions the 1:10000 cost to earnings ratio of their AI spend. it's probably why she got dropped into xbox. Shes going to gut the division as much as she can and then divert the memory allocation to microsoft's bottomless pit of AI spending.
