They took a huge bet on consolidation and it didn’t really pay off. Now they’re writing it off.

Amen!

I get a feeling MS doesn’t want to be in the game production/publishing space anymore. They see bigger growth opportunities elsewhere. I personally believe that it’s a big mistake and the ai bubble will cost them dearly, but chasing very short term profitability has never hurt an executive.

Crunch the numbers. Many topics can be expressed via numerical values and the results can be quite surprising.

Those midterms are going to be a shitshow.

Never mind, scarier stuff is being released from day one: https://fuelarc.com/cars/tesla-robotaxi-freaks-out-and-drives-into-oncoming-traffic-on-first-day/

Oof, these highlighted parts from only one video are already enough for me. This looks very stressful, I don’t think I could finish a whole ride with one of these.

Yeah, sounds about right.

Watching the video that’s still pretty tame. Not good, but nothing to make the news either. I expect much worse.

I wonder how long the facade will hold. They can’t restrict the service to pro-Tesla influencers forever and the safety guys will have to go eventually. How long before weird or dangerous incidents start to happen? Days, weeks? It won’t take months, of that I am certain.

I blocked links to reddit in my settings to filter out the many bot-crosspost. Works well, I haven’t seen reddit in months.

Do investors still fall for this?

I read through these and it’s 80% AI crap that no one asked for. New features? Recall and copilot trash. Bugs? Problems with Recall and copilot. I’m so glad I switched to Linux some months ago. If Microsoft doesn’t see reason soon, they might just kill windows.

Most definitely! And in a couple of years we will hear about the lack of developers again. It’s not my first rodeo.

I agree with the above but would like to add that the results are hilariously bad and error-prone. I got results for a simple query about public holidays that were so wrong it was unusable. Once people get to experience the abysmal AI search regularly, they will just stop using it. Whether Google quietly kills it quick enough before people start using alternatives is the billion dollar question.

Imagine typing deeply personal info into a Meta app.

To me it’s funny that a case even needs to be made. I’ve reviewd enough output of AI agents to confidently dismiss it as largely trash. Given enough time, this hype will blow over and LLMs will be another useful but not revolutionary tool for programmers. It won’t even come close to replacing humans and it will require skilled developers to be used efficiently. Software craftsmanship is as valuable as it’s ever been.

Now let’s see what the EU has to say about this.

I guess we all knew it would come to violence eventually. The US are on the precipice.
