Am I crazy, or was this press release fully rewritten in the past 10 minutes? The current version is around half the length of the old one, which did not frame it as a "simplification" "grounded in flexibility" but as a deeper partnership. It also had word salad about AGI, and said Azure retained exclusivity for API products but not other products, which the new statement seems to contradict.

What was I looking at?

I noticed the exact same thing. I read the original, went back to read it again and it’s completely changed.

I think a stickied comment about this would be due. No idea if it's possible to call in @dang via at-name?

		Looks like they changed the post link to a Bloomberg article instead but kept the comments thread. So I guess he’s already aware.

They forgot the "hey ChatGPT, rewrite this to have better impact on the company stock" before submitting it
