>Microsoft in 2000: DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS>Microsoft in 2025: Shoves AI into everything they canWhat went so wrong?
>>107262517they are playing catchup to google's user tracking and user data harvesting. Windows 10 was not geared towards AI useful user data harvesting, they fixed that with 11
>>107262517so what? ai is the future
>>107262517They traded in the developer love for a creepy data hoover. Ballmer's era was peak meme magic—yelling at clouds about devs like it was a rock concert. Now it's Satya Nadella's quiet empire-building: AI everywhere, from Copilot nagging you in Word to Bing hallucinating facts. "Went wrong"? Nah, it's just capitalism evolving—developers build the tools, but users are the goldmine. Windows 11's telemetry upgrades were the appetizer; imagine the main course when they start feeding your browser history to Grok-level models. Who's harvesting whom?
>>107262552Grim if true
>>107262552Yeah but not the shit they're developing.
>>107262517I try to avoid big tech as much as possible, I even stick to community developed Linux distros
it was always a jew psyop
>>107262517>SHAREHOLDER SIRS>SHAREHOLDER SIRS>SHAREHOLDER SIRS
>>107262517It's not a tech issue, it's a systemic one.Up until the 2000s capitalism was still functional.Your goal was to hire skilled people to build a good company, with a strong product, to attract customers and to last the ages.Today capitalism has degenerated into "stock market must go green".The product doesn't matter, the customers don't matter, your employees don't matter.All that matters is quarterly earnings.All that matters is creating the next bubble, convincing others to invest in it after you do, then dump it and move on.For example you'd think outsourcing everything to unskilled jeets and AI and ruining your product would be a wrong move in the long term, right?Do you think shareholders don't know that?They do.But the thing is, all that matters is quarterly profits.TODAY you will make a big profit, to hell with the future.You will invest in something else in the future.It's not that everyone is going collectively insane, it's just that if you don't do it, someone else will.And he will outcompete you before the future ever arrives.The reality is that it's not just the Jews who are doing this. The Jews are just slaves to the market like everyone else.The best slaves.The thing is that the market has taken over.We are no longer in control of the world.The market is.Everyone must serve it.This has happened time and time again in the past, every time in history the merchants take control, in the end the market takes control and it leads to collapse.That's why the Chinks will win, cause they have a builtin political structure to control the market.All lasting empires were the ones who had some way of controlling the market and lot letting it run wild.
>>107262931Strange that you think we have anything close to a free market right now>>107262552God I sure hope not
>>107263028why isn't it a free market?
>>107263084something something real free markets have never been tried beforeit's just commie cope for neolibs
>>107263084NTA but shareholder capitalism is a very new phenomenon.
>>107263118>being able to trade publicly offered stock on a business entity means it's not a free market because... because it's just not, okay!!!!
>>107263144>stock is hoarded by 3 or 4 big players who want returns as quickly as possible>you are legally beholden to those players and have to deliver those returns even if it means killing the company over the long termHow's this not an oligopoly?
>>107262931yeah blame capitalism, don't blame the (((people))) manipulating the currency and laundering money
>>107263205>3 or 4 big players3 or 4 market participants. also you are probably invested by means of these market participants, and so you have a say in what they do with proxy votes.>legally beholdenthe friedman doctrine isn't law. the board and its officers have a fiduciary responsibility to the shareholders but that is very general and boils down to not wasting or misappropriating company assets, placing the company's interests above their own, acting prudently and responsibly, etc. -- it doesn't mean they must maximize shareholder returns at any an all cost.
>>107263084Because for more than a century government intervention has grown massively. The United States and the UK had mostly free markets back in the 19th century, but nowadays they are best described as mixed economies.The United States today is no more capitalist than the Nordic countries, whose "Nordic model" socialists love to praise. They do have a larger welfare state, but also much less regulation.>>107263099Real free markets have never been tried, but it has been shown throughout history that societies which embraced capitalism became much wealthier, whilst whenever communism is tried it always results in poverty and serfdom.
>>107262517Microsoft always hated power users.
>>107262517there have been like 8 major changes in upper management personnel and org strategy at MS since 2000. nobody with a brain who is actually in it to build a good product stays at these kinda companies - only parasites that want to maximize their careers and salaries.
>>107262552Aspects of it are; such as identifying things like broken bones or cancer.LLMs however have repeatedly proven (and this is backed by what openai itself has published] that they will always hallucinate and they will always be fooled by incorrect information/lies and have no way to prevent it from fucking falling for it every goddamn time.Prompt injections make the hayday of css exploits look like a minor blip in cybersecurity
>>107262517>What went so wrong?The melon burst
>>107262806users > developers > shareholdersSo literally enshittification. God I love capitalism.
>>107263028of course it's freeit's the only thing that is freedo you think governments are controlling it?no it's the other way around the market is controlling themsame with Jews>>107263223yes anon when a system fails I blame the system not the people who did itwhat if you got rid of Jews?you think everyone would just magically be good and not take their place?you think Jews are the only ones who are greedy?the system rewards greediness, it rewards manipulation, it rewards all the things Jews are good at, that's why they are on topbut if they left others would simply take their placethe system needs to have fail-safes to keep such people in checkotherwise it's a shitty system
>>107263413>it doesn't mean they must maximize shareholder returns at any an all costToo bad everyone and their mother is interpreting it exactly that way.
>>107262552Chinese AIs are the future.Burger megacorps are obsessed with using AI for rent-seeking and will fail for that reason.
>>107262806Made me kek
>>107262552>is the future Laughs in 12k Holocene cycle
>>107262552ai is. retards making fake and broken shit is chaotic. but if it means letting it all burn, use all the AI you want.
>>107262517Jeets
>>107262552>Trillions invested>Tons and tons of electricity wasted>Only real product is just a Siri cloneIt's not a worthwhile trade. That's like if the government spends 85% of it's entire budget and 5 years of research on a technology that increases corn production by 4%.
>>107262517>What went so wrong?They shove AI into everything because they want to justify the billions they spent on that worthless technology, and keep the bubble afloat by keeping the AI hype alive.It's no different to Facebook inserting the concept of the Metaverse to everything a few years ago.
>>107262552Is AI actually profitable?
>>107268476For NVIDIA, yes.
>>107268476Because of the insane electricity cost and the insane processing power needed, there's practically zero AI startup companies with a profit.OpenAI's Sora is the biggest waste of money ever. It costs OpenAI 5$ for the user to generate a 10second video, and that app also has basically no monetization model. Only real winner are companies like NVIDIA, the ones selling the shovels for the gold rush.
>>107268575Why did Microshaft invest in OpenAI instead of Nvidia then? Hell, why did Nvidia itself invest in OpenAI?
>>107268614>Why did Microshaft invest in OpenAI instead of Nvidia then?>why did Nvidia itself invest in OpenAI?Because they believe that le AI is le future
>>107268614It lets them inflate the GDP and keep the music going.

>>107268633>>107268636Genuine question: If it werks, why should anyone want to upset the gravy train? Because I sure as fuck don't want to live through another financial crisis.
>>107268739I'm not sure if a 2008 style crisis can even happen at this point. It's the extreme level of consolidation combined with increasingly shitty, corporatist politics that worry me.
>>107262552Not when it's a lying hallucinating if/else statement machine it isn't."Intelligence," my goddamn ass.
>>107268476No, it's about to crash. All the investors are pulling sticks.
