Don't diss my man Satya. Under his command Microsoft grew 10X. The motherfucker knows what he is doing and he started as an entry level employee at Microsoft. None of that "I was there when the company started so it's my turn to be CEO" shit.

Despite what a lot of people belive, Microsoft is full of very capable people. I can say this based on experience. That doesn't mean everyone there knows what they are doing or that they are pefect at executing.

If you guys are keeping track then you know I'm an AI believer. This doesn't mean I believe the tech is perfect because it's not, it's far from that. Also, I can't say for sure ASI/AGI will be a reality within our lifetimes but what I can tell you is that this is the closest we have evern been at at least emulating intelligence. Yes, even with all the hallucinations, costs and security vulnerabilities. A few decades back when the Internet was in it's infancy it was riddled with all kinds of security vulnerabilities and bugs. Microsoft was one of the first companies that actually saw the potential behind that technology. Imagine looking at a website back in 1994 and saying: "this shit will go nowhere, it looks like crap compared to my word document". Yes, there were people that thought that way but look at where we are now.

All this shit is completely transitional but unlike back in the early 90's when nobody but a select few had the chance to access high end tech, we are all exposed to it and can take advantage of it even if it's far from perfect. I draw fucking strategy plans for the company I work for getting help from Gemini and it has improved the quality and speed of my work like no other tech in the last 15 years. I still read the books but I don't need to take notes (that would make reading the book 3x slower). I can read it, load it into one of my Gems and pull specific knowledge I need.

None of this will replace the usual interfaces we all know and love. At least not while there is people like us that still want to use them. Future generations will probably have less of an issue jumping into something totally different. Humans are just not great at adapting to change. There is no way that the only way to interact with Windows in the near future will be voice because there are many situations where it is not appropriate. For example: an office environment or people that want to use a computer for something during a call or whatever.

These guys are not stupid (OK, some of them are) and many of them are certified geniuses in whatever discipline you can imagine. If they are placing a huge bet on stuff like this is because they genuinely believe there is a chance it might pan out.

Luckily tech research and advancement presses on despite the reluctance from some members. Like that quote that floats around the web and that they attribute to Henry Ford (although most likely he didn't say it): "If I asked people what they wanted they would have said faster horses". End users not always know what they want, specially when we are talking about radically different - reality changing technology.

Corporate bootlicking is so passé.

I reckon the overall enthusiasm and popularity will start to decline once certain societal, personal and psychiatric impacts will begin to emerge. There's early tell-tale signs of some already. We've witnessed the detrimental effect social media has done on a generation and that started out seemingly innocuous.

Loneliness increase. Algorithmic isolation. Increase in suicides. Anxiety at an all time high. Shortened attention spans. Explosive narcissism. Radicalization. Commoditization of private life and psyche. That's just the tip of the iceberg. None of big tech wants talk about any of that, of course. That would mean they take responsibility and accountability for these things they've directly been complicit in.

I really think we've reached a point where the advancement of tech has been allowed to run amok, gotten unruly and begone to be a detrimental effect and burden on society. Its outpaced the natural human adaption rate. In an era where overstimulation has become a big talking point this isn't helping.

Even the original ARPAnet wasn't rolled out haphazardly like this into the public. It was studied in a controlled environment.

If Microsoft has so many geniuses then why is Windows 11 in such a poor state now? Either they're not geniuses or their intelligence doesn't have much effect on the end product. And I say that as a lifelong Windows user/fan.

I don't know what's worse between the thought that Microsoft have no clue what it's doing and that Microsoft knows exactly what it's doing.

What do you think it's more likely? One of the biggest companies in the world, a major player in whatever aspect of business making a mistake related to complex issues or just because they lack capable people?

We are talking close to 250,000 employees world wide.

Exactly what does it mean for Windows 11 to be in a poor state? The update that messed up some things? We are talking over half billion devices running Windows 11 right now and the world is still spinning.
 

OpenAI still has not turned in any profit. I wonder how long Microsoft will keep throwing money at OpenAI.

Until the bubble bursts and there's a big drop in their stock price. Same with all the other AI companies. They're all propping each other up like a house of cards.
