Her perspective was that consumer-facing products are not the primary revenue drivers and, therefore, are not central to executive priorities. While this may not be surprising to some, what stood out to me was how emphatically she underscored that the company’s strategic focus is squarely on enterprise customers rather than end users.

That said, this business model has historically proven effective for companies such as IBM. Microsoft allocates its resources toward segments that offer meaningful revenue growth.

Why listen to user feedback when you can do stuff like this? Way too funny.

Censorship gets counter-banned, Microsoft, company known to have turned Win11 into Win-microslop.

I've never called them MircoSlop before, I haven't even written the word. But it's now my exclusive word for the company.

All I can hear is, it's working.

And they're already moderation a light hearted joke about their low quality products.

Doesn't really bode well for the future product Vision.

But to be fair, corporate discords have to be like that. Why not create your own channel with your colleagues instead? This discussion would be "private" and corporate can just ignore it.

Let's get it out there and make this happen!

And the problem is not that the AI models can't do any better. The models themselves are far more capable. I assume that their integrations are just horrible. They probably pushed to be the first and then forgot about optimizing.

And instead of fixing their stuff, they think it is a good idea to use moderation tools...

I've surveyed the market pretty heavily, and given my specific credentials, experience, and risk tolerance, unless I got really lucky, I don't know if I could find a better place to work. I live near Redmond and have a small family to support.

Has a nice ring to it.

Thank you Streisand effect!

It should be called "macroslop", just after the amount that company is putting out there.

No one in my circles said this, now I've heard it twice now through headlines of Microsoft trying to punish or block it.

Now I've started saying it too.

"Hello, copilot, do you create slop? -> Skibidi slop slop slop aiiiiiii"

Is this what the employees do nowadays while their AI is generating code?

> Microsoft's brand image may already be at an all-time low

and they decide to make it even worse. it's extremely obvious this would be an objectively terrible PR move. you always take banter on the chin and show that you're working on improving the product.

instead, they try to clamp down on the banter, which, without fail, achieves the exact opposite: banter increases tenfold and you get ridiculed for being overly sensitive to actual criticism

But nice to see that MS is Streisanding their way to a nice new nickname!

What were the sloperators of that channel thinking?

In any case, it should be Micro$lop (may not be banned...yet).

MicroslopSlop

This sentence is from TFA, and I can't for the life of me understand it. "Head start"?? WTF?

(is that banned?)

Unless you're into that kind of thing.

What are they going to do? Ban me from using their operating system?
