"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

That's really unsurprising. I don't know what the MS guys are smoking but I need some urgently.

Also, has there been anything, in recent memory, that Microsoft has tried to do that was new, and has been a success?

Seems to me for the past 15 years they have just:

  • Made their existing products worse;
  • Acquired other products and destroyed them;
  • Tried new things that flopped monumentally.

We are so lucky to live in a society were the merit of one's product and company dictates their market success /s

Azure and Teams. The former makes them waaaaaaay more money of course. Other than that it's been a trainwreck. Gamepass was relatively novel but increased the price so much as to make it unviable for most people, that's before you get into the plague of issues with it like controller compatibility, which is itself a problem of Microsoft's own making.

Ah I thought azure was a bit older than this. My bad.

As for Teams I personally include it in the category of acquiring Skype and ruining it but you're right, it is technically a new product that is sadly successful...
