Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

MS board room: WE DONT’T DO ENOUGH AI, WE MUST DO MOAR
nice. I hope, though unlikely, that they go bankrupt!
Microslop tasting their own medicine. I love it.
Microslop deserves it.
Why the fuck are they even in the Ai business in the first place? They were milking the cloud services for years, Xbox and Windows being just side hustles, and now they made trendy AI pivot for no reason. They trying to dig gold while business is in selling shovels
Because Blockbuster didn't get into streaming and look at them now
Everyone wants to be in the AI business. It's what was expected to make money. It's lost so much, I love it.
Apple is the tail-ender in the AI race, but it's paying off. Their latest macBook Neo is a success and it's going to eat a lot of Microslop's market.
MSFT's entire method of operation revolves around acquisition.
They bought into OpenAI just like they did for all of their major products in hopes that it makes money.
If they had done a Google and sold GPU-compute cloud services, they could probably have made quite a tidy sum. Everyone wants compute.
GitHub is teetering on one 9 over an entire quarter. There are serious, systemic problems in Microsoft's shop.
Maybe their SLO is three 9: 89.99%
Where is this image from and what service? Super curious to share this but not getting the same metrics from gh status page.
Have they tried giving Trump MORE Money to Fix this? Bribing Trump has WORKED out So Far!
Or maybe injecting even more AI into their products? People seem to looooove that.
Or maybe making an even shittier OS by firing more engineers, and replace them with terrible AI slop code?
The more they do all of the above, the more incentive that companies will have to support Linux desktop
Maybe they could focus on delivering quality products that customers want, instead of investing all their time and effort into expensive AI widgets people don't.
Good
This drawdown has sparked a debate about the "Magnificent Seven" member: Is Microsoft stock a falling knife, or has the market overreacted, presenting a rare opportunity to buy a preeminent artificial intelligence (AI) stock at a discount?
First, "the market" overreacts about everything. Not surprising given that stock price volitility is mostly driven by speculation.
Second, who writes this crap? Anyone who thinks of Microsoft as an "AI stock" is clueless. The majority of Microsoft's revenue comes from "services", a big chunk of which is derived from subscriptions for Azure, Office 365, and other hosted solutions.
Microsoft has been racing to cram "AI" into as many areas as possible. Probably in an attempt to justify their substantial R&D and capital expenditures. But calling them an "AI stock" is insane considering "AI" is not their core business or even a profitable part of their business.

I suspect it is because MSFT is overvalued at the moment and the overvalued part is AI hype. Now that the AI bubble is decreasing, we see it reflected in MSFT. They're not pure AI stock, but some part of it is, so I think the speculation is apt. So, if you're an AI bro and a bit of a pussy and not 100% behind it, you can back Microsoft since they have other income streams to fall onto. If you're hardcore, you buy OpenAI and lose everything when it goes down.
Isn't a decent amount of trading vibes / meme based? At least, a lot of crypto and arguably Tesla is. For those traders, isn't Microsoft an AI stock? At least some of the genAI stock valuations are from a subset of people thinking that the singularity is coming and that the first of these companies to do it will boom, aren't they? And isn't that the target audience for this sort of reporting?
Except Microsoft has been considered behind the other AI stocks for the last couple years. So they have not been seeing quite as big a boon as the others.
I guess the round and rounds of layoffs are really not working for general morale and this reflects on their products
No no, those layoffs were because AI does the work now, silly.
:steamhappy:
I wonder what this will mean for xbox. M$ has already done enough to destroy the brand.
My hot take has always been that Xbox was a stupid project. They had windows. People play video games on windows. They should have made steam and something like steam machines 25 years ago.
It really well promoted their DirectX API locking everyone into it. That was major part why there was no alternative to windows. But this isn't the case anymore, since super fast translation was invented by single linux guy with Anime waifu in his avatar.
Deserved
