Confirmed in the Mainstream Media: A Lot of Microsoft "Workloads" Were Just LLM Slop (Helping to Fake Growth for Years, as Microsoft Had Paid "Open" "AI" to Become a "Client") and Demand is Rapidly Waning, Datacentres Canceled and/or Shut Down
Today in IRC Ryan brings up two [1, 2] recent articles that say Microsoft is losing control of the narrative here, at least according to Ryan. Follow the debt, not jingoism and fake claims of "growth".
On the data centers, he says, "the news now reports that they're canceling so many. People have "questions"."
Well, people can count and make lists, so something does not "add up". They were lying all along to prop up the share price.
To quote the reports: "The decision was partly driven by a decrease in anticipated workloads from OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT."
Also: "The company cites reduced need for AI training workloads from OpenAI as a contributing factor."
As a result: "Microsoft has halted several data center projects in the U.S. and Europe due to lower-than-expected demand."
The headline says: "Microsoft in Wisconsin; some national data center plans canceled, raising questions"
This relates to what we published moments ago. However, it points out an important correlation.

Under a corrupt President Cheeto expect regulators and investigations to be gutted. Anything to facilitate further accounting fraud, prolonging it and thus making it more ruinous (at the end). █
