microsoft: we will resolutely double down on deploying this worthless bullshit everywhere

as predicted, there is no level of failure that will prevent them from cramming their gpt engine into every single product line they own, whether or not it even makes any sense as a feature

it�s not about product, feature, or sense. it�s about money. future bagholders see chatgpt and spew dollar signs everywhere, so don�t think about it too hard and just grift

for a startup seeking vc, yes. for microsoft? their grift is ten thousand subscriptions services and licensing schemes, what the gently caress do they need chatgpt for?

so, like, are you predicting this to bring msft share prices down?

no, i'm saying this is a bad product that will in an absolute best case scenario be a detriment to everything they shoehorn it into, and they will absolutely shoehorn it into everything they sell.

i'm saying this will in a real and measurable sense make my life worse

I know about that but there will never be enough of those people to "solve" the population "problem." if the richest million families had 10 extra kids each over 10 years it still wouldn't do much of anything

I am keenly aware it's a rotten argument to its core I just don't get the point of it other than casual racism, it's infuriatingly nonsensical and I also don't get why so many valley tech weenises believe in it

i still disagree with this, is it useful? no. will it make microsoft money? no. will it drive google to do something insane? yes, probably. will it harm microsoft share prices? probably not.

and i think that sums to a great opportunity from microsofts perspective.

plus it'll likely keep being funny in various ways.

well, okay, so in what sense does it work?

bing went from "what if you wanted google to return more scams?" to "at least as good as google" without any significant changes on microsoft's part, so i think you're right, and this is a winning strategy for them

no, that's the thing, it's not cortana. they stopped using the name of the video game ai character with toes that went rampant in the stories.

idk if the branding change really had that in mind, but considering the performance of the current gpt powered stuff, it's a real shame

72 ibm was beginning the real upswing of business modernizing paper processes into computerizing, the curve of the hockey stick where it starts to go asymptotic. they werent really made of money till like 1981 ish
