Finally, some good news.
They will just wait it out until teens will not be able to use a search engine, because they grow using free GPT and as soon as those earn enough money, they’ll start the enshitification.
Of course, teachers and students will have still free access, do that they not learn to find stuff not with AI.
they will somehow shift the cost on the consumer and continue on
Who wants to give me a billion dollars to dig a hole and I’ll give you a billion to fill it back in and we’ll both say to investors we posted a billion dollars in revenue.
You have to make money to lose money.
That’s not what the bank told me
Don’t worry. An XBOX will cost 1400$ soon to help make up for it.
Also, with mandatory AI Gamer Buddy™ so everyone will buy one themselves instead of going over to your friend’s house to play
Tired of waiting for your friends to get off work? Don’t bother, with your new AI Buddy you will always have someone imaginary to play with.
As a bonus, you can share all your secrets with AI Buddy. AI Buddy will anticipate your needs, desires, and will always be there for you. AI Buddy will never get mad and will always say you’re the best.
You will quickly wonder why you ever hung out with your friends after AI Buddy shows you what they say behind your back. AI Buddy is the only friend you will ever need.
*Microsoft is not responsible for AI Buddy actions including but not limited to plotting your death, impersonating you to drive your friends away, and selling your deepest darkest desires to advertisers.
lol. lmao, even
Did they check the couch cushions?
It’s all the Starbucks they’re buying
How many Starbucks stores do they need in one office building?
At least 12
Move fast and burn everything down
Just exploitative market grab for early dominance. (Or: “Grift” lol.) They will make it back when all of us have no choice but use chatgpt for everything.
I don’t see them eliminating Linux from the internet
technically according to NSPM-7 any FOSS is terroristic by nature because it’s anticapitalist.
that means if you have contributed to FOSS at any time, you are a terrorist. technically.
I know this is not a real discussion :D
But I don’t think FOSS is inherently anticapitalist. It’s just not late stage capitalism. There are plenty of commercial FOSS projects.
Sure you could compile them from source or download somones executable. But especially companies often want convenience, customer support and LTS versions.
There are, of course, open source licenses that don’t allow for commercial use without a license.
Also, there are lots of industries that need guarantees about the software, and even CC0 open source software doesn’t come with those guarantees; those come from a commercial use and support contract.
how does it make money tho?
But when will i get cheap GPUs
Fuck AI, it’s a bubble, etc. But I do wonder how much of the spending is actual revenue-generating operating costs and how much is further investment/R&D. I doubt Sam Altman sees spending Microsoft’s billions on whatever tf he wants as a loss.
Considering how many trillions quietly went into the field, I expect that’s a LOT lower than real numbers.
What? The line goes up? Where I can invest my life savings in the IPO?
It’s not small change anymore. That’s what happens when you don’t listen to your customers.
So, #FuckAI?
*bubble pop!
