    Genuine question. How does all of this useless nonsense make them money? Is it all just from loans? Are they just saying “look at all the AI we’re doing” and the investors are just desperate to give them more money?

    I just cannot fathom how they profit from all of this. They’re spending so much time doing this. For what? What is the business motive for doing this, if not to get bigger loans from their investors?

      Copilot is falling very far behind all of the other big AI players in the space that it’s actually laughable. The main reason they’re implementing it into every Windows first party application is so they can boost their “user” numbers to satisfy investors. Every time you open Explorer, boom that counts as you “using” Copilot.

        I asked DeepSeek something the other day and it actually admitted that it didn’t know the answer and offered advice on how I could find out. I was actually pretty impressed by that

        Down last few months, but overall strong upwards trend over the last few years.

      Nadella’s buddies are all making AI garbage, so he thinks he has to make AI garbage too. Because he’s massively uncreative.

      And so all the managing leads think “Nadella likes AI! I must find a way to shove AI into my product so that my product/fiefdom doesn’t get the axe! I might even get a bonus! Or promotion!!!”

      And so all the coding slaves are tasked with shoehorning AI into every Microsoft product, app, and/or service.
