- Microsoft invested heavily in cloud, when LLM's came it was an obvious way to increase profits if they made everyone use their cloud for "AI". I don't think they realize just how much of the current LLM hype is just that, hype. I think they will be severely burned.
Yes, LLM's are useful and valuable, but no, they won't be replacing major sections of the workforce any time soon. I don't need an LLM in every facet of my operating system, just like I didn't need Cortana integrated everywhere in Windows 8. And LLM's are obviously not worth the billions upon billions that are being invested currently.

- Reminds me of when the xbox one came out and everyone was calling it the X bone because it had no games and cost a million bux.
- Good screw them. They put a god damn button on the keyboard for their crap AI. Everyone just uses the smartest AI and has zero loyalty to your garbage AI. Look how quickly Meta abandoned open-source AI when they got behind.
Windows 11 is bloated, loaded with telemetry, won't stop nagging you about OneDrive and Office365 and now mandates sign-in with a Microsoft account while forcing 400+ million devices to not have security updates.
I'm willing to bet most of Microsoft's engineers are using Claude, not their own garbage.

- Microslopt seems a better fit.
Maybe with a German accept :-)
- My mother who was an avid user of Microsoft Office recently asked me what Microsoft 365 Copilot was and whether it has any impact on her plans to upgrade her laptop. I told her to buy a Mac and look at Pages/Libre Office.
- I mean, they wanted to put "AI" on everything, knowing "AI" is not AI. Could "there is no such thing as bad publicity" apply here? At least they're trending, don't they?
- The only way AI is going to kill me is by reading all the constant negative bullshit about “slop”. Seriously, it seems like a quarter of the posts on HN now are bitching about AI. If you don’t like it in Microsoft products, install Linux. I’m now running a fully Microsoft free house for the first time ever. It’s not that hard.
