I swear, Microsoft YEARNS to fail. Dunno who is running the show over there but they're doing a great job of being terrible for their brand.
they're losing so much money on AI/datacenters, they are just flailing at this point.
Meanwhile MSFT (the stock) goes up up up
Yes but thats lifted by bubbles.
Nice metaphor, I wish few would pop without hurting too badly the idiots that believe the lies and more importantly without hurting anyone who pointed out how ridiculous it all was. Unfortunately I'm rather convinced people at the helm of Microsoft, OpenAI, VC pumping the bumbles, are financially smart enough to be entirely disconnected from any consequence of their own actions.
They don't need to be smart. They have money. The system is for them. Shocks will be absorbed by parts of society that exist to be stepped on, who need to be disciplined and stay under pressure to function without risk of unionization/revolt.
The only thing that trickles down are costs.
Well, piss too. Costs and piss.
You might want to check their financial reports buddy lol. Actually I know you won’t want to, because they’ll make you upset. You literally could not be more wrong if you tried.
