Microsoft made the product selection. Of course they are to blame.

Nothing about actually having a positive contribution in any way. Good old crappy Microsoft.

Same here. It will do a lot of damage and hurt a lot of people, but the longer it runs, the worse the inevitable collapse will be.

It would also be good for progress. Lets hope it happens soon.

Good question. Nobody on the customer side has any real business case that could ever justify that. On the other hand, we have too many ossified big tech companies (no, "AI" is not fixing that, it makes things worse), so Microsoft dying or Oracle collapsing would be entirely good things.

Hopefully their well-deserved end is not that far off. They are nothing but a force of the negative.

I can, you can, but the usual idiots cannot. In actual reality, the LLM approach is a dead end, because it cannot be improved beyond a pretty low level of quality. There may (or may not) be long-term applications for specialist LLMs, but even that looks less and less likely. Agents based on LLMs? Pure hallucinations that they will ever be secure or reliable.

The only thing that keeps the hype going now is that too many organizations have invested far too much in them and too many people are very easy to manipulate.

And don't be a victim. Unlike the person that moderated this down.

Indeed. Avoid Apple, Amazon, Google, Microsoft and a number of others. Regard them as malicious and uncaring if you cannot avoid them and prepare accordingly.

Same for Microsoft or Google. If you need to depend on their accounts, chances are you will get shafted at some time. Hence do not let that need arise. Yes, that is difficult. But they can throw you out for basically any reason and you can do nothing.

In a similar fashion, lots of YouTube-dependent creators have gotten stabbed by Meta recently. The whole thing is broken and there needs to be legal recourse and penalties for platforms that get this large.

If you want to make tons of money? Sure. If you want to make this planet a better place or at least not a worse one? No.

The story is what is called a "lie by misdirection" because it implies something (the "AI" did a design from scratch), that is not true. I get that this idea is too advanced for you.

Yep, fake "conservatives" all around.

They don't. They apply the same laws to _anybody_ that does business in the EU. Kind of like US law applies to _anybody_ doing business in the US. But I guess that idea is to complex for you.

Indeed. They think the law essentially does not apply to them. Of course that is not acceptable at all.
