Tens of Billions of Dollars Down the Drain (Microsoft Lost the Search "Arms Race" or Market)
But caused injury to itself and others, just like with Nokia in mobile
According to statCounter, Microsoft failed to gain any market share in "Search Engines" (propaganda machines) last year:
Google only lost about 1% to Yandex (Russia).
So what happened to the "Google is doomed" predictions or "LLMs will replace search" predictions (dating back to 2022)? That just didn't happen, did it?
OpenAI is running out of money (it was riding Microsoft's bank account for over 2 years, all in vain) and OpenAI whistleblowers (who represent a legal risk due to copyright lawsuits and out-of-court settlements) apparently get murdered in their own homes.
