Microsoft can't learn a thing from their own history. Perhaps if they made a product that was useful and not deceiving their users they'd have more success. It seems they aren't capable of that anymore.
- phyzix5761 5mo agoMaking a useful product is far more difficult than tapping into our base desires as human beings. Microsoft hasn't been an innovative company in a long time and that's by design.
- ajkjk 5mo agoThey are also just bad at almost everything they do. I'd really be worried if a competent company was trying to make people addicted. Although maybe it doesn't take much, given that it sounded at one point like the Microsoft execs were addicted already.
- recursive 5mo agoI'd really be worried if a competent company was trying to make people addicted. This is absolutely a thing. Social media, mobile games, LLMs, tobacco.
- ajkjk 5mo agoOh yes sorry. I meant addicted to AI. No doubt they are, though, anyway.
- hackyhacky 5mo ago> They are also just bad at almost everything they do Huh? Have you forgotten Clippy, the first AI agent? /s
- torben-friis 5mo agoThey're those guys that spend hundreds of hours in pickup artist courses rather than being a person people would like to be with, yeah.
- dyauspitr 5mo agoThat’s always been Microsoft in a nutshell though. They constantly stumble around never making anything truly great but still doing a good enough job to keep their existing customers.
