| Isn’t Microsoft one of the AI giants trying to eat the economy? |
| |
| ▲ | berkeleyjunk a day ago | parent | next [-] | | At least from the article, it seems he wants to position Microsoft as someone who provides access to all models including non frontier models in order to democratize access. He sees OpenAI, Anthropic and Google as the AI giants who are trying to dictate the future. | |

Chances are that also comes with fewer bugs and it at least 10x as performant (not an exaggeration, the MS cloud is extremely slow). Their other more complex software like SharePoint or the power platform will be replaced by other solutions in my opinion. I had to adapt a Power Automate flow yesterday. It is just painful. And buggy as well, even integration with their own services. That with Microsoft long since have abandoned the strategy to ask what the customer want instead of their latest business model, I think MS will have to rely on their enterprise IT customers. | |
| ▲ | andsoitis a day ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Why do you think Microsoft is an AI giant? In my books, the AI Giants are: Alphabet, OpenAI, and Anthropic. I wouldn't rate Meta, SpaceX, or Microsoft as AI giants, even though they have AI products. | | |
| ▲ | jmalicki a day ago | parent | next [-] | | Meta at least is an AI giant just from its internal use. Even if Alphabet didn't have Gemini, it would also be a giant from its internal use. | | |
| ▲ | andsoitis a day ago | parent [-] | | I interpret "AI giant" not to mean who are the biggest USERS of AI, but rather, who is leading the direction of AI development / has the most leverage. | | |
| ▲ | jmalicki 21 hours ago | parent [-] | | Sure, but Meta is developing AI for its own use. That it doesn't have external customers is irrelevant when you look at the total use of its models. |

| ▲ | dgellow a day ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Isn’t GitHub copilot pretty huge? I personally hate it and avoid it as the plague, but I see people using it | | | |
| ▲ | not_a_bot_4sho a day ago | parent | prev [-] | | Same. But with the callout that SpaceX (via xAI) is trying really hard to be a giant. |
| |
| ▲ | ahartmetz 21 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Trying and, apparently, failing. | |
| ▲ | mindslight a day ago | parent | prev [-] | | Not really. Microsoft is more of a proprietary software monopolist that has strangled the economy for the past few decades, and they don't want to lose what remains of their lucrative position. |

| At Microsoft when people say something it somehow gets altered by an unknown entity. And all we see is this end result. |

| Man who helped prop up AI giant currently eating the economy (OpenAI) says we can’t let AI giants eat the economy. I don’t understand how this person is still the CEO of Microsoft. |
