What’s that got to do with bill gates?

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (2 children)

He used to be the CEO and M$ is pushing AI every way they can, regardless

I stopped to take a piss at an Arby's once. Does that make me a cowboy?

Gee, Mikey. I think he likes you

No, but if started, and owned Arby's in a monopoly position for years, and then left... for many years, you'd be blamed for the state of the burger business. (Especially if you bother to comment on it, like Gates is doing)

He's been out for years. While I can't condone his methods in the late 90s (IE vs Netscape), he had nothing to do with the MSFT strategy in the current AI fad.

He hasnt been CEO for decades, but he was on the board up until 2020 when MS's current AI strategy was being developed and executed. His current big push is energy projects, all intended as AI power sources, along with actual AI companies.

You're conflating the two, but that's exactly what he had to doggo with it. QED

He's still a huge influence on the company.
