why not just admit you overspent on datacenters, which you cant afford and trying to recoup some of the losses from your other products.

The issue that I have with Microsoft's AI, is that I simply don't trust Microsoft to not serve the interests of the 1% against me.

If I am to use an AI, it is with the expectation of privacy and following my intentions.

I must be ceo material. I use this same type of argument when my partners seem unimpressed with my sexual performance.

This guy appears to be a bit of a dullard.

Hey, when I have Iron man Jarvis-like chatting me up, running locally, and never ever messing anything up, I'll be impressed.

So far I have semi-competent voice transcription, borked understanding, incorrect action 4/5 of the time, underwhelming, if not broken output, and most of the time this bad version is dependent on a datacenter that's aiming at obliterating a star worth of power every two hours.

I WONDER why this is not seen as impressive.

You can talk to it like a person, and it still fucks up like 80% of the time! Why aren't you impressed?!?!

I couldnt give a flying fuck what this clown thinks. My brand new Beelink EQ14 came with Win11. Its now running Ubuntu server

FUCKING CLAP YOU IDIOTS

Yes, because your bank account depends on your incredulity.

Fuck all the way off.

Suleyman says he's mind blown by the fact that people are unimpressed with the ability to talk fluently with an AI computer.

This message has been brought to you by Microsoft, for Linux Mint.

they even have an AI CEO

clowns

...And other signs that you may be in a cult.

Dear Microsoft CEO and C-suite people.

Push back on your investors now before it's too late. AI features are ruining your product and its image.

A lot of companies are tied in up this AI bubble and Microsoft is not too big to fail in this regard. Your customer-base has gotten by just fine without AI and invasive screen-capture technology used to support it, for decades at this point. Most people see your product as an operating system: a product designed to support other products. They do not want more capabilities from it, and have come to rely on good support for hardware compatibility, stability updates, performance updates, and most importantly, security updates. It is the darling of OEM PC installs, and government and commercial enterprise continue to renew their site licenses because of it. These are the core features that will continue to bring value and keep people on your platform, not AI.

If you firmly believe that agentic AI is the future, make it an optional installable product or a completely distinct operating system altogether. This is strategic since it has radically different marketing needs than Windows or Windows Professional, and supports a distinct subset of your overall install base. Foisting this feature set on your existing users is doing nothing more than artificially inflate adoption numbers, and you're risking the entire enterprise to think your investors don't already know this. It's not smart, it's not even brinksmanship or a bold technology decision. It's reckless.

"And my farts smell delicious!"

No matter how "cool" it is its primary purpose, first and foremost, is to generate spam. A trillion dollar industry, effectively, in the service of spamming our search results, inboxes, text messages, science journals, homework assignments, and so much more

It feels like Microsoft doesn't remember how Cortana was received. Why don't you fix Windows' file search instead?

Talentless hack and way out of his depth grifter who knows the position he has reached and the money he makes in it is really just supported by cultivated connections and his bullshiting ability, rather than any superior strategical capabilities, when the business "strategy" he chose as CEO merelly because "everybody else is doing it" starts to be perceived as not just broken but a bit of a shit show, keeps on trying to push the impression that, actually, he's just a misunderstood visionary and it's others that don't yet recognize how wonderful the direction he chose for the company is.

By using such arguments, maybe once again he'll "fake it until you make it" his way into success (after all, that's how he became MS' CEO in the first place) or, at worst, it will extend how long he can keep on getting paid the big bucks for nothing more than being a lucky bullshitter with the right connections.

I've been in Tech on and off since the 90s, including in Tech Startups, and nowadays "leaders" in it are pretty much all grifters, not techies with a vision.

I've been reading the posts here and most people are coming from a "decent honest person trying to do his jobs as well as possible" point of view in their reading of the guy (probably because that's the kind of person they are) and thus giving this guy the benefit of the doubt, whilst from what I've seen in that world this guy is almost certainly a talentless hack at anything other than grifting and who, lacking any above average strategical thinking abilities, went for the "everybody else is doing it" strategy which is now blowing up, so of course he'll use typical grifter skills to try and dig his way out of that hole or, at least, stave off the innevitable end of getting big fat $$$ for holding a position he's not actually competent at.

The guy is gaslighting because he's a grifter not a strategist and the "it's others, not me" line of argument is a common "defend & delay" tool in a grifter's toolbox.

Talk about gaslighting your consumers into us thinking we're Luddites. Not to look at the ransomware that Win11 has become.

Also if CEOs are starting to shake about AI not evolving anymore does that mean... a bubble is doomed?

I'm impressed by AI, but I don't want AI, now go away, you're just as annoying as that blabbermouth droid and that creepy paperclip.

I've AIed your computer, without your consent... where are my applause?!
