@Jam said in The OFFICIAL tech stuff thread:
Microsoft seems to be a company some geeks love to hate.
I don’t think normal people hate Microsoft.
I’ve generally embraced Microsoft products and have sometimes admired Bill Gates.
Am I in the wrong forum?
From a business perspective he tried to be the sole fiscal portal and got his balls kicked in. Phones and internet sites on Linux broke his death grip on personal computing, so now Microsoft is just another player.

We could tell Jam that Microsoft is primarily a provider of an evil cloud that runs on Linux, but he’d just deny it! So let’s not do that.

Even though I would be universally hated, I wish I knew math.
Mountains don’t hate.

I think it’s very indiscriminate, you could even say WOKE!!!, in it’s killings.

Which is why the choice to embrace math is a hard one. You could be rich, but at the same time you spend your life with your only friend being a homicidal maniac.

You have got me on that one!
A man knows when he has been beaten!
I forgot all about Microsoft Revenue 365 products!!!

(for context, MS is $13B into OpenAI, Google is IIRC $2B into Anthropic)

Well that’s an odd fucking mix: a universal declaration of human rights ratified by 48 countries and a 1000 page service agreement 30% of the planet has agreed to but no one has ever read.

Apple put on a pedestal as equivalent to the moral aspirations of 48 nations as a means of fobbing off concerns about what’s going to monetized and weaponized- sounds about right.

Doesn’t sound worthy of 2B seed funding to you?!

@tigger TBH, it’s more worthy than a competing project, which is trained on the posts on Truth Social.

So Altman is going back to OpenAI and they are adding board members so that the previous ones cannot do anything. I want my money back.

Binge rights it is! I don’t think you can buy OpenAI stock really. And I’d buy MS stock only moments before it will drop by 50%

Next time you’re thinking of buying MS shares, please let me know a day or two before.

Satya Nadella must be feeling like the jilted lover. Although it’s still not a bad outcome for MS, it’s not quite the coup that having the rights to GPT and having maybe half of OpenAI working for Microsoft would have been.
