    I’m gonna try to say this gently:

    Microsoft… is gone now.

    They contracted terminal corporate dementia.

    They’re not going to be the same anymore.

    … I used to work for them.

    Something like was inevitable, given their highly cliquey and authoritarian corporate culture.

    They’ve imploded under the weight of around two decades of accumulating technical debt, around two decades of the guys and gals that huffed the most farts getting the most promoted.

    They are now primarily a member of the military industrial complex.

      I agree that they’re floundering, and that they’re desperately trying to dig themselves out of a hole (if you’ll forgive the mixed metaphor), but I don’t think it’s useful to chalk up to AI mistakes what is actually demonstrably a human marketing decision.

        Double post, but:

        I just now realized I fat fingered my own semi-manual autocorrect, and did not originally use ‘They contracted’, which is what I meant.

        I have accordingly here made log of my revision commit, which should now be reflected above.

        Apologies for any confusion this may have created, derp.

        I agree with you… its the people and the way they’ve basically conditioned themselves to act, not the LLM.

        Also, to further confuse the metaphor:

        You can’t dig your way out of a hole that you flooded, doesn’t matter how hard you pedal your mind bicycle.
