Microsoft is a dysfunctional organization. It is too big to be competent or efficient and yet because of its size it is allowed to continue thriving for all the wrong reasons.

Part of it wants to acquire talent. Another part of it wants to cut costs. They don't talk to each other, they don't understand the big picture.

The result is the waste of money and destruction of potential. They buy bottles in which lightning had been caught and promptly smash them on the concrete right after.

Shit like that is holding back all of humanity.

Microsoft should be broken up. A lot of problems go away if we just stop letting power consolidate.

Humanity wants ChatGPT, TikTok and plastic straws, maybe it shouldn't be advancing.
