@nixCraft oh no, all the shareholder value

@melroy @xs4me2 @nixCraft Microsoft has been doing this very publicly for at least three decades, longer less publicly.

That is the game of capitalism on which the USA are built upon. The big post WW2 IT techs are the ultimate culmination of it. Neoliberal capitalism where winner takes all... and the rest has nothing... like Standard Oil and its monopoly they should be stopped as we see how it does not end well...

The new generation of Silicon Valley actors are much more toxic than Microsoft btw...

@DodoTheDev @nixCraft

What makes you assumed that they were thinking in the first place ?

I have a lot of coworker that are very good at negotiation, or rewriting or following process, but they cannot think outside their little box.

I cant count the number of time where i got "this value here is wrong, it must be a multiple of that value" and they cannot explain to me what those values mean neither to explain how i'm supposed to compute them.

Of course they are right. But do they think ?

@richintheflow @nixCraft Good. Let them drown.

I don't fully agree. As much as I’ve come to hate Microsoft’s AI strategy and products: if you look at the share price over the last three years, it actually seems to be heading back towards a more ‘normal’ level

@janneke @nixCraft Some people are happily drinking the Kool-Aid. I have largely stopped attending Team meetings but when I have to I keep my mic muted bc I've been misquoted by Co-Pilot too many times.

@connynasch @richintheflow i feel so bad.. lol. just kidding. let all of them go to the /dev/null.

[emerson61@toot.community]

@nixCraft they're not even being punished for that. It's part of an overall tech selloff. The sad truth is there is NO reality-based correction mechanisms in contemporary markets other than maaaaaybe energy prices, which we are currently testing. The entire Habermassian intersubjectivity house of cards that capitalism is based upon is just provably incorrect after computers. Centrally managed surveillance moves information faster and more accurately than markets now. Maybe always did.

@nixCraft I use 4 different browsers. On 3 of them I have AI disabled and the fourth one (my fav) doesn't use AI at all.

[birkenator@mastodon.social]

@Emerson61 @nixCraft just vibe with it

@forse @nixCraft

Corporations are part of society, and they should act as such.

But we are in the endgame of neoliberal capitalism it seems, where winner takes all. A self-destructive strategy.

We have been there before, and we can change it again.

Standard Oil was once the world's largest monopoly, controlling Founded by John D. Rockefeller in 1870, it was broken up by the Supreme Court into 34 companies in 1911.

And by the way, tax them, for they are part of society.

Stop making me want copilot.

@nixCraft though it's also important to compare their stocks against others who haven't done as much AI shit. Tech stocks in general have had a not so great last 6 months. It's not only about who is a loser. It's who is a loser in comparison to others.
