"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Azure and Teams. The former makes them waaaaaaay more money of course. Other than that it's been a trainwreck. Gamepass was relatively novel but increased the price so much as to make it unviable for most people, that's before you get into the plague of issues with it like controller compatibility, which is itself a problem of Microsoft's own making.
Ah I thought azure was a bit older than this. My bad.
As for Teams I personally include it in the category of acquiring Skype and ruining it but you're right, it is technically a new product that is sadly successful...
It is.
Teams is only successful by being part of the MS ecosystem. If you're running a Windows shop, you might as well use Teams as its integrated. Why spend money on Zoom? If it weren't under the MS umbrella it would have been over long ago.
