Microsoft Invented a Slop CEO ("AI CEO") Because Real Interest in Slop is Waning, So It's Just Faking Its Prominence
8 hours ago in Times of India:
"AI" is the new "metaverse" (Microsoft sacked and shut down all its "metaverse" staff and teams a couple of years ago)
If you saw many mindless slopfarms (yes, many slopfarms, lots of them based in India but in the English language) about a Microsoft "AI CEO", then consider them to be pure nonsense. It's noise. Sensationalist salesmanship, nothing more. As Zitron put it this month: "We are witnessing the consequences of hubris — those of a monopolist that chased out any real value creators from the organization, replacing them with an increasingly-annoying cadre of Business Idiots like career loser Jay Parikh and scummy, abusive timewaster Mustafa Suleyman."
They're just selling a Ponzi scheme ahead of the avalanche of Microsoft layoffs (still builder a bigger, giant snowball [1, 2]). They will twist those layoffs as "AI efficiency", "replaced by AI", and all those other myths (phony narratives that excuse commercial failure, twisting it as "success", "advancement", "evolution").
So will IBM, which is said to have already compiled lists of "low-performing" (one in 6) or "expensive" (read: competent) staff to "RA" or "PIP" (the latter is a workaround against severance obligations/payouts). This was discussed yesterday:
IBM is tanking as more shareholders likely start doubting the "official" financial figures. IBM's debt continues to grow. That's despite IBM cheapening its workforce.
Zitron's article shows that Microsoft is in the red. The accounting claims are truly fake, as we've said for a long time. █
