But just in case, let’s lay off 5-10% of our workforce again this quarter just to further drive home how profitable we are!
Found Copilot randomly installed on my computer after the latest update. Couldn't uninstall it fast enough
inb4 they name System32 to Copilot so you can’t delete it.
Watch me!

same here. I uninstalled so much bloatware that automatically installed in the past six months without my permission
they're driving us away
Imagine being in charge of one of the wealthiest corporations to have ever existed, and yet unwilling to write out a statement without a fucking llm
It will become the norm. Our CEO uses ChatGPT a lot. He used it to write a Christmas email to the whole company. All of his correspondence it devoid of any personality.
Your company can save a lot of money by replacing him with an used laptop that only opens chatGPT on startup.
You are assuming that they have a personality to begin with.
It must be hard to admit he spent billions on a slop machine. Sunk cost fallacy is probably one of many things they're fighting.
I love this for them. They refuse to change course so it is on them.
They worked hard for it, and earned it.
Just tried generating a Microslop logo using AI. Funny how Copilot refused to do that, yet every other AI did it happily.
CEO proves that CEOs can be replaced by AI.
"Micro$haft" and "Micro$hit", two former snarl names aimed at Microsoft, got a real challenger.
(The dollar signs are intentional.)

I don't understand why shareholders keep this guy's CEO he's absolutely terrible at his job. They need to go back to having an actual engineer as CEO, someone who understands what the hell is going on and doesn't keep getting distracted by the next shiny bauble.

What are you talking about? Under this guy's tenure the MSFT share price skyrocketed. What else would shareholders care about? He's doing an excellent job, as far as they're concerned.
IMO, Satya isn’t the same anymore. His disabled child died, and he gave a speech about pushing forward to investors at the time but no longer cares about accessibility. Now, he’s got ai-induced psychosis so he doesn’t care about azure, office, Xbox, linkedin, GitHub, etc. Unless it has Copilot in it, because he’s invested in openAI.
Mate, have you seen the valuation of companies handling AI or hardware that AI requires?
Shareholders are creaming their pants any time someone says "agentic" or "AI".
Oh dear. That sounds like a super-villain origin story. "I just wanted to develop an AI capable of bringing back my dead child to life!" Another broken soul with too much power...
Are you wishing back for Ballmer? IMO things were even worse, then. When they built a new version of Windows that was so bad they threw it away after a few years and botched together Vista as a quick save.
Or for Gates? Who just missed and overlooked this newfangled internet thing in the 90s until they slammed the brakes and used loads of money to turn things around?
Or the Microsoft that successfully hollowed out monopoly regulations paving the way for the tech bro style off business we now have?
But engineer don't make dividends go up. Engineer know to reinvest, and stock holder sad not get more money.

The company is now run by Copilot and its in charge of naming products.
The rdp client was renamed "Windows App", remember? So this is a step up.
Microsoft can never name products... Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox one, Xbox series x, Xbox series s... Hell I'm currently watching agdq and can't tell you the best one, imagine a grandmother trying to buy a gift for her grandchild. Atleast it's Playstation 1, Playstation 2, Playstation 3, Playstation 4, Playstation 5 obvious which one is newest. Or Windows 3.1, nt, 3.1 with workgroups, 95, 98, 2000, me, xp, 7, vista, 8, 10, 11...wtf?
