Levy, lol.

Call it what it is: a tax.

A burden on the population. No amount of dirty politics changes the fact. Taxes do not all get directly paid to gavernment. Like sales taxes, service tips ect.

Edit wrote another post, more depth.

Read my post, you really didn’t read it.

I’ll spell it out.

State created the law. That creates a cost to be recovered. How that cost is recovered is irrelevant, it’s s state mandated cost aka tax.

How these taxes are applied either reimbursed, taxed directly, or passed on: its still is a tax burden increasing the cost of living. This and previous Government’s have only further worsened the problem. The police state reduces life expectancy.

UK has a massive budget problem and they still keep increasing expenditure on surveillance. That social value is negative at this point as its taking money away from critical services. Well done to the Government continuing the worsen debt, health, and wellbeing of the population. A terrorist will kill 5-10 people, failure to protect the health & well being of population (who needs a roof over their head) it just pales in comparison.

This government literally can’t afford to fuck about wasting money yet here they are. Proving they are imposters failing the country.

“Safety” meanwhile these same mp’s can’t budget can’t run critical public services like bloody hospitals.

But don’t worry, your thoughts and activity are policed.

Democratic failure to prioritise and run a country at its finest on display for the world to see. The waste is astounding.

Brand destruction impact generally spans multiple ceo cycles

I qualified the statement, nothing was ambiguous unless you can’t read the entire sentence

Azure is tiny compared to the competition.

363 is much more successful comparatively. That said, its dying fast, with the utter garbage service upgrades, its enshitified hard into a rigid platform unsuitable for enterprises. So find/make a real alternative to EXO with the Outlook app: and 365 ends over night.

Up next, Delta sales down 37%, ceo launches investigation

Recent research study I read that looked reasonable, it was posted here on lemmy. I’ll try and find it when I have time and edit this post.

Yes, it is.

Read the first line of my post above.

No, that is not ROI, that would be growth above the normal growth for products and services. Problem being that they are just spinning normal growth as AI growth. Internally, they will not be seeing the growth realised. Billions spent and for what? A word predictor that is benchmarked at halucinating 80-90% of the time. Its simply appauling value when the content users get is wrong 80-90% of time, realised or otherwise. Utilization will be starting out high and falling off a cliff risking deepening reputational damage on the back of the thriving open source community.

Absolutely, Natella (intentional) has commented about the valueless hype for one. The stock value has little to do with short term returns especially considering they have more than 1 income stream. I would expect a correction in 12-24months as openai cash starts running dry and it begins reflecting in their stock value first and foremost.

Right now their stock value is pretty much flat. US market instability may put some serious pressure on the US tech stocks in the coming year, those 10 year bonds are not looking good.

No, this is a correction after the CEO made very poor investments into an LLM company run by a crypto grifter that’s amounted in little to no ROI. So now it’s either every employee is an AI grifter or unemployed. All other projects are cost recovery to feed the spiral of enshitification.

At this point to Debloat you’d be better off just removing windows. Save yourself the fight and frustration

You can also disable Recall by using a Linux distro

The word predicting chat bot produces nothing of value. That sweaty VC porn is burning money it cant repay. Its coming to an end. Just hope the grifter doesnt get a golden parachute. Frankly should be made to repay his pay

What do you expect? Its an anti-competition wedge designed entirely to push out competion of the market. Thats it.

Its a website for websites, which naturally does a fraction of what the websites functionally do and thats being very nice.

Its a functional turd. 💩

Microsoft destroys product names like no other company.
