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.

Microsoft is - checks notes - a company selling shitty OSes and bad Office tools. And it's very good at forcing those sales on the world. It's been good for it.
But instead of seeing AI and pioneering a stub to glue an Ai in as module and just letting the Ai losers fight it out, they decided they need to control the Ai so they can monetize that too.
They can't help themselves.
So they're bleeding staff now to pay for the Ai miracle like SCO bled staff trying to fight against IBMs legal and PR divisions, which is why no one knows anything of SCO except what IBM told them through its staff-built groklaw FoxNews clone. The difference is that Microsoft is fighting itself, and can just quit.
Go make that API, Microsoft, and let openai and all the others court YOU. Go back to bad OSes and teams and excel. It's what you know.
