Rebuttal to Microsoft's poker face at the start of this year: No, Microsoft Does Not Invest $80B in Hey Hi (AI), It's Just Full of BS, Lies, and Over $80B in Debt

Something's Gone Wrong With Microsoft's Huge AI Data Center Investments
Data centers are everywhere. As the world's tech companies demand more computing power to make their software run, the facilities have popped up in every corner of the planet. They make up the backbone of global network servers, cloud computing — and of course AI.
Microsoft has been a major player in the global data center boom, but its ambitions may now be faltering, in a bellwether for the AI industry. The tech behemoth recently decided to scale back data center projects around the globe, in countries including the UK, Australia, and Indonesia. It's likewise pulled back on data center development in Illinois, North Dakota, and Wisconsin, according to Bloomberg.

Microsoft rethinks data centre investments worldwide: What it means for AI and Cloud
Microsoft has scaled back its data centre expansion across various regions, citing evolving demand for AI and cloud services. The company delayed or withdrew projects in multiple countries, raising concerns about long-term AI service demand amid market volatility.
"There's a bunch of Microsoft spam/revisionism about BASIC and His Billness to distract from Microsoft failed data center investments," an associate has noted. Bill Gates stole things from a literal dumpster and now he bribes the media to lie about what happened. Knowing he will be dead soon, he's buying revisionism and falsehoods, trying to popularise myths about who did what (like Shiva Ayyadurai did after the real inventor of E-mail had passed away).
Assuming it's meant "to distract from Microsoft failed data center investments" we should focus on what's true and what matters most at the moment. If Microsoft is a "clown first" company (like the CEO insists), then this is a doomsday scenario that makes or breaks the company.
Moreover, as we noted only a few days ago, they're shutting down "AI" labs [1, 2, 3]. They do this quietly, which may seem conspicuous unless it's in China.
The "bubble is popping" and there are financial shell games with money that does not even exist! Yes, that "investment" in "open" "AI" is only speculative or theoretical. There's a mountain of debt there.
This seems to be a "soft spot" at Microsoft, so we shall revisit it again and again. More than before. What we need to do is not keep quiet or distracted; the only solution is: mention MOAR of what they hide. What makes them angry is what makes them vulnerable. █
