“Microsoft is killing itself with AI”

This isn’t an outside cause hurting a company, the damage is self inflicted.

well I’ll have to eat my words, AI was useful for something in the end

AI Nadella is killing Microsoft.

His leadership has screwed up so much (remember Windows 11?). But stock continues to go up so that’s all that matters.

If that works, AI had at least done one good thing.

Microsoft: Stands on literal fucking lava

Microsoft: “Why am I taking damage?”

I’m sorry, I haven’t heard that name in a long time. Didn’t they change it to Microslop to ride the AI wave?

I worked for Microsoft years ago. Nandella early years were great, quality was part of the process, engineer on automation like me had a great time.

Then he lost his kid and he returned something changed, managers were much less flexible, they started to fire people and luckily I was able to change jobs before they start the annual layoffs.

Instead of giving raises they prefer to cut 10% every year and hire cheaper… my friends that remained say the morale is very low

And this change things, when you like the place you work, you work the extra mile, when you are afraid of being layoff you just fake you’re doing more, you try to pull the rug of others instead of collaborate, ambient gets toxic and quality and true innovation suffers.

Finally a good use for ai

Only way for Microsoft to save itself is to post real pictures of their pets.

I think AI is only part of the problem, Nadella’s leadership is marked with a lot of bad choices that aligned users against Microslop. The requirements for Windows 11 was an intentional ploy to get users to upgrade their computers, instigating a potentially massive E-waste event. Allowing Xbox Division to fall so far from grace that it’s barely a blip in the Gaming Scene, when it could’ve evolved into something competitive with the right choices being made. Forcing features on users that they disable, only to enable those features sneakily after every few updates. Forcing Edge as the only default browser, and making it hard as fuck to use another choice on a computer is some next level bullshit too. LLMs are going to be the decoration on the dagger that slays Microslop as a company, but it’s not the only factor that will end them.

I am chuffed that Linux is getting a lot of attention because Microslop’s leadership dared to be so brazenly stupid; I say let Microslop die, as they are creating their intricate corporate suicide plan.

You say this like it’s a bad thing.

When I saw the other day that github reliability was <90% I knew they are deep on the road to fully cooked.
