Comment on Microsoft CEO Admits That AI Is Generating Basically No Value
masterspace@lemmy.ca 4 weeks ago
This is honestly a trash article. It can be summarized as:
“Microsoft, a trillion dollar corporation that makes around $150 billion in pure profit, every single year, is tempering expectations around AI, BUT then why are they still investing $12B dollars in it, that makes no sense!”.
Like, they’re tempering expectations around AGI, not saying AI is trash and theres no value whatsoever in it.

It’s also from Feb.
I’ve been noticing a few articles lately that were several months old, yet commenters don’t seem to notice or care. I do often wonder what percentage of Lemmy is dead internet bots circle jerking about how bad AI is.

Eh, some people miss the initial news cycle on things. I can’t speak to why old articles are being shared, but as for the people engaging with them, I think thats totally normal.

Yeah, my last statement was more of a tangent. Just something I wonder in general. Because you know it’s gotta be a thing.
Yeah, it’s normal for people to engage with the latest posts. But also, as far as the news cycle goes, there have been like 10 developments since Feb that completely change the climate that the article was posted in. I think that’s my main issue; people are making speculations about what this means, when we’re already 4 months in the future (which feels like a decade).
