Microslop chief Satya Nadella warns

So they‘re finally reaching the „we could fail…“ stage of the hype cycle. This is great news, actually. The sooner this charade ends the lesser destructive it will be. Even when it already caused devastating damage to society.

No, the AI boom will falter one way or another. Free open source models will out perform proprietary models by the end of this year. The amount of money that customers will actually pay for AI services is much lower than expected. It really is similar to the dotcom bubble and how briefly people thought domain names were going to be insanely valuable.

It's nice to wake up to good news.

If nobody is using your product then you made a shit product and should scrap it before you lose any more money.

“Ponzi scheme could falter without wider adoption, warns early Ponzi scheme investor”

If people aren't adopting it, it's not a boom.

It's an investment boom.

“For this not to be a bubble by definition, it requires that the benefits of this are much more evenly spread,”

I would correct that to say 'for this to not be a bubble by definition, it requires that the benefits of this a. Exist and b. Are significant enough to justify the extreme costs of building these systems'

Right now I don't see anything coming out of this that justifies even 1/10 of the $trillions being poured into AI.

In fact I think you could make an argument that the net result is negative, even for businesses that adopt it, due to the increased prices they will pay for hardware over the next few years. If it makes your employees 5% more efficient great, if it makes your technology 50% more expensive in return, not so great.

I'm not an AI hater but make literally one functioning AI product bro before you say that

Sounds like a you problem

Is it a "you're holding it wrong" moment? Or a "no, it's the consumers who are wrong" moment?

As this asshole and his asshole company tries to force adoption via shoving it down Windows 11 users without consent.

Reminder that now is a great time to switch to Linux desktop.

If that's not a sign the bubble is about to pop, I dont know what is...

Don't threaten me with a good time

Let's not adopt! Move away from MicroSlop Minimise use of AI services aka data theft.

Good.

Too late. I ditched Mircoslop for good.

Oh, that would be a shame. Not like I was already planning on buying a new computer this year and the idea of over-paying due to RAM shortages and other bs has made me mad at them. After already being mad at them for a lot of reasons that were more abstract in how they harmed me. Fuck 'em.

Hey, you know that Microsoft guy in a high position who pissed off devs on Twitter by saying their code would be replaced by AI and then a lot of the internet called him on his shit? Maybe I can work for him (because I'm certainly not talented enough to get hired directly under ass-face here).

Good, best time to curb its use.

Cry more. Half the problem is Copilot is anecdotally worse than just running a model locally myself. It easily ranks at or near the bottom for everything IME.

The other half is Microsoft shoving it everywhere including fucking Notepad.

That moment when for a split second a brahmin realises the world doesn't revolve around them... Just for a split second though.

As soon as we get AI toilet paper, then we'll finally start making a profit!

I'm not sure what Nutella wants to accomplish with with his constant "warning", because nobody cares. Apart from his billionaire buddies maybe.

Don't threaten me with a good time

I'm just tired of AI this AI that. Give me a functional product not a bandaid solution that in the end I don't need

How would this be bad for me?

Good?

Please falter .

Fuck microsoft

"This totally amazing new product that everyone will definitely want might turn into a total failure if everyone doesn't actually want it. Clearly, this is your fault for not wanting it hard enough, and not our fault for shoving a totally unwanted product down everyone's throats."

2025-2026 - Year of the Linux Desktop

Bend backwards and ponder your shiny orb of a head, Nadella. That's the whole point.

This isn't how fucking markets work you God damn dweebs. Has nobody in Silicon Valley taken econ 101

"Your AI hate is hampering the economy" - Future headline most probably.

He means the LLM boom. Their conflating LLMs with all of AI is nonsense.

There are plenty of other machine learning projects, even ones using Transformer-based neural networks), that are doing just fine because they are not built on top of ridiculous business models like 'buy every bit of computer hardware and hope someone makes something to run on it'.

The faster this thing crashes, the faster all consumer electronics becomes cheaper.

Microslop behaving like a tumor.

Perhaps it should have been wide adoption that led to a boom, instead of a boom in hope of adoption?
