Bonum Certa Men Certa

Aggressive Microsoft Marketing/Lies as Bing Falls Closer to 2% Market Share, Google Gains More Share (ChatGPT Has Only Harmed Bing, Which Has Layoffs Too)

Example of media 'spam' today (just yet more of that "GOOGLE IS DEAD" talking point; ever since ChatGPT was introduced Bing consistently lost share; it is a de facto censorship and distortion machine):

Schadenfreude, Anyone? Long Enslaved Media Biz Revels as Suddenly Vulnerable Google Gets Its Butt Kicked in AI (Bloom)



What has "Bloom" been smokin'?

Consider the public data. Microsoft is down, not up:

Microsoft shell/proxy; Down about 5% this past month alone



Summary: There's a lot of noise in the media today*; it serves to distract from a fresh round of Microsoft layoffs _____ * Microsoft trolls including ‘Gulagboy’ Matthew Garrett also did a lot of a very aggressive trolling in IRC yesterday. This is bordering on the criminal.
