Doesn't Microsoft own like, $13,000,000,000 of OpenAi, that owns ChatGPT?
"We've got an exciting match for you tonight folks! In this corner its Microsoft, vs their arch rival ... Microsoft. Ouch, Microsoft delivers a nasty 1-2 combo to Microsoft. Got em up against the ropes Microsoft."
A decade ago, I held out hope that Nadella could rejuvenate Microsoft and allow it to recover from its complete miss with Windows Phone and the flirtation with mobile-first. A decade on, his repeated lapses have left me feeling Microsoft needs new leadership.
looking at the way copilot was rolled out at Microsoft, none of this is particularly surprising.
early on, they shoehorned LLMs into most of their products in the least thoughtful way possible — I guess leadership thought it best to move quietly for first-mover advantage.
I remember looking at copilot enterprise pricing at that time and thinking “this is delusional.”
and it still is! $31.50 per user, per month… that is more than most other LLM “pro” subscriptions. the value prop just never made sense when the outputs tend to be worse than what you get using ChatGPT.
The problem also is Windows has gotten worse, regardless of Copilot :\
There's got to be millions more people as you go along who can no longer fathom adopting any more Microsoft products whatsoever until after they fix Windows.
Especially the mission-critical things for business and everyday activities.
They were supposed to have all the time in the world since Windows 10 was going to be the final true version.
What are they doing working on anything else? Totally neglecting what people want most. You can't paint a pretty picture here.
And how is Copilot not going to possibly be anything of a surveillance pilot? Windows 11 has gotten way worse about this before Copilot, how much more account tracking & advertising are people supposed to be craving that they are not already getting? Sheesh.
Below is how I contribute to MSCP flatlining.
