Microsoft and Microsoft's 'Open' 'AI' Seeking Bailout From the Pentagon Means Brand Erosion
Hours ago, recalling past Microsoft failures:
Some news sites rightly blast Microsoft's loss-making shell and debt-burning hack. But not because it's unethical; they basically say it'll be bad for business.
Already, calls are made - even in dedicated new sites - to boycott the products and services in the name of peace/antiwar.
Microsoft has been highly reliant on government bailouts since COVID-19 (the Cheeto Administration even gave Microsoft billions of taxpayers' money as pandemic "relief", as we covered at the time).
With Microsoft and its offshoots growing more and more dependent on military ("defence"; "Department of War") budget there is growing risk of boycotts, especially from nations outside the US, as more and more of them strongly disagree with US foreign policy. █
