in a world where all office workers are now permanently unemployable: what use are Microsoft's products?
AI kills 90% of demand for their products
I don't think roofers need Microsoft Teams
- bitwize 3y agoBut Microsoft doesn't sell to office workers, they sell to executives... who would relish the idea of getting rid of those office workers. And guess who owns "Open" "AI"...
- blibble 3y agowill the executives buy legions of Windows machines if they don't have any workers?
- bitwize 3y agoNo, but Windows is a loss leader for Microsoft now. The real money is in AI and Azure.
- ChatGTP 3y agoShareholders will replace executives immediately, and I don't think it's far off. If you think executives are safe from AI, well I think you're crazy. Imagine saving hundreds of millions a year in executive salaries by hiring a robot that has 1000x better strategic capabilities than you, is 10x cheaper, has absolutely zero empathy, never sleeps, just optimizes for money and just makes the required cold hard decisions ? Shareholders will go fucking nuts for this.
