Moments ago: Microsoft Will Collapse in July

Right: (many of these are slopfarms, propped up by Google News)

microsoft layoffs when:1d

Get ready, ladies and gentlemen,

Listen up, listen up everyone,

So Microsoft is doing so exceptionally well that it gets rid of many employees, teams, studios, and products,

Yes, ladies and gentlemen,

It is even twice as big as what the media says,

It's because Microsoft is investing in slop,

Yes, slop is the future,

Microsoft is the "market leader" in slop,

The more people Microsoft lays off, the greater the investment in slop,

Stand in line, ladies and gentlemen, buy your shares of MSFT,

Shares the value of slop.

"That’s why Meta didn’t just buy out Scale AI – they did a complicated deal where they bought 49%, and grabbed their CEO, and turned Scale into a vassal state of Meta, and other companies don’t want to work with Scale any more. But technically, they didn’t buy them. Maybe they’ll get away with that. [...] A venture capitalist tells a portfolio company to buy another portfolio company, and the books look a little less bad for a moment. In finance, this is called “two drunks propping each other up.” [...] At the top end of the scale, OpenAI buys smaller companies, in the desperate hope that one of them has an actual product that might make money. It’s always a stock trade, for imaginary OpenAI shares, and never actual dollars. [...] With smaller companies, they just merge them, then twiddle the books a bit and hope they don’t die. Or not straight away." David at pivot-to-ai.com 2 days ago
