The Two Lies Microsoft is Telling in "the News" This Week (to Distract From Layoffs and Decreased Interest in Slop/Chaff)

There are two patterns of fake news or chaff that we saw in this week's "news" and did not add to Daily Links because they're basically nonsense:

1. Microsoft is teaching slop (or "hey hi") 'skills', including in schools
2. Microsoft is saving money with "hey hi"

A lot of those talking points - suffice to say - originally come from Microsoft sites or sites connected to Microsoft, with "operatives" or "moles" of Microsoft in them.

The quick debunking is:

1. This is a smokescreen as usage of slop/LLM/chatbots decreases despite all efforts to spread prompts everywhere (every little GUI; even unwanted, in-your-face "hey hi"); it got so bad that many datacentres got canceled
2. Microsoft is losing so much money on "hey hi" storytelling and fantasy that debt is surging and people are too "expensive" to keep (to pay their salaries)

Bonus: It's not just "hey hi" that's losing money. Many other things, including Microsoft GitHub, lose money. They will end up like Skype. What will then (after shutdown) happen to Firefox for example?

In January Microsoft lied about "investment" in "hey hi". Prior to that Microsoft made up fictional amounts of "investment" (usually billions) in every country for "hey hi". What ever happened to that?

Microsoft is run by liars and frauds who SLAPP critics. It's not hard to see what they would rather "invest" in. █
