"Microsoft has renamed office to their regarded AI 'copilot', complete with an ugly ass logo. Copilot has some real killer features. For example, when someone sends me an email that says '*thanks, see you tomorrow*' copilot pops up and offers to 'summarize' the message - just in case it was too long "
"OpenAI's actions since their buyout by Microsoft make it apparent that they are not interested in AI safety, so this could only be a cover for a dramatic drop in model improvement."
"If we look at Microsoft, for example, their annualized AI revenue is like $13bn. $10bn of that is just money OpenAI gives them for compute, a company they themselves fund. For reference, their market cap is $3.84 TRILLION."
"We're just going to enshitify the entire ecosystem because we know most businesses don't have enough money to switch to apple and we're basically the only choice. Fuck you."
"Started off my internship off on a weird foot with my manager happily telling me that an indian girl was considered first for my position, but she decided to intern for microsoft instead."
"It's like how Netflix will raise their prices because they studied that if they raise the cost 20%, 25% of the users will leave making them lose money. But if they raise it by 15% only 10% of the users will leave thus making them more than they lose.. every decision is calculated like this. Every ti"
"The cost of destruction has dropped dramatically through the years with the internet of things, cloud systems, third party servers, etc. Terrorists don't need to plan for years, build up networks of allies, cash, for a 9/11-style event when you can provoke mass chaos across the country with some adv"
"Imagine being an engineer, an architect, a medical doctor.. you buy a new netbook for your business and you start the computer for the first time and there you see it: Candy Crush, XBox live, Minecraft, etc.. come on! You bought a machine for working, and you don't want to see all this bullshit you "
"The front page results are the dogshit microsoft forums, where every thread ends with the thread locked or the original poster straight up saying the answer didn't solve his problem."
"have you heard about Microsoft's recall feature that uses AI or some shit to run in the background 24/7 and take pictures of everything you do on your screen to keep it on a searchable database."
"So right now microsoft has mandated as part of their licensing agreement that all laptops must have a copilot button, where the right "ctrl" button was. The amount of seething im reading online by people somehow defending this bullshit is reaching super delusion."
"Even massive companies like Microsoft and their subsidiaries - for example, there's an ongoing scandal with the developers behind Call of Duty as they're using AI for a bunch of 2D assets in their games now. This is a franchise that generates $10b+ dollars *annually* in revenue - you mean to tell me"
"Flights grounded in Melbourne, LAX, DFW grounded. Broadcast networks off the air. Banks inaccessible"
"Earnings call yesterday. Wall Street didn't like the data center expenditures and didn't believe they were going to pay off"
"Microsoft is truly the worst of capitalism, they make shitty product (Hololens) after shitty product (Windows 8) after shitty product (Surface Pro) after shitty product (Bing) yet are too big to fail and coast by on proprietary technologies (directx) made in the 90s and buying out and milking decent"
"I've told them countless times that no one from Microsoft is ever going to call them"
"Meta and Microsoft are doing "performance-based terminations" (ie., firing people immediately they would've given 1-year to improve)"
