The customer is always right in matters of taste and style.

If you can't get (and keep) customers for your product: that's your problem.

AI is not a bad thing, but it's way more niche compared to what was promised. There's certainly way less demand for it than these big investors want people to believe.

Pictured: Nadella holding in his hands all the profit M$ can make in the next 30 years even if AI booms like he really really really wants it to.

artificial intelligence (AI) risks becoming a speculative bubble unless its use spreads beyond big tech companies and wealthy economies.

Oh, you mean there is a risk it becomes the thing it already is? Boy, imagine that!

The really funny thing is how he says that "the benefits need to spread outside the tech sector". Golly gee, I wonder why other sectors haven't benefited yet! Could it be that it's not worth the hype and it does not improve anything that typical computer systems are already working on, like managing electrical grids, keeping track of shipments, avionics, etc? Nah, it's all the doomers' fault

Microsoft will continue to falter if they don’t fire Nadella.

Oh dear, what a shame, never mind

[–] jaykrown@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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.
