Your account was however.

I have seen a move away from office products into cloud things like google for years. Not a huge fan of the “cloud” but here we are.

Bail out almost anyone that bought tech stocks? Seems unlikely, and it would be basically admitting the end of the stock markets legitimacy. Bailouts tend to be for companies on the edge of collapse.

I am at a loss to what that would even look like. The bubble popping would mean the admission of AI (LLMs) not having a viable path to usefulness or return, so then what would a bail out even be? Money? To what end, the bubble would have burst and the idea of AI (LLMs) being anything but a money pit would be what makes the bubble burst in the first place. Unless they can show a path to profit (they can’t) then the bubble will burst in time or continue in an endless zombie state where they just pretend that somehow AI (LLMs) are the future while burning capital. If it does go into a zombie state (as so many other things in the us market are becoming) then the whole market will just slowly fail as the “hype” turns into disappointment. The only reason that the zombie state would be preferable is that entities need to invest their money somewhere and maybe some other thing in the market can take AI (LLMs) place, but even then why bother bailing out anyone?

Maybe if they think you shove tampons up your urethra… and are of poor eyesight.

That system fell apart when they showed they could not count to 9. 10 Should have been 9, and it was mid at best.

Is the 1# bing search still “google”?

Or windows users that have been around 20 plus years…

Really it is sad just how bad its all gone.

But the dick is at least lubed!

Chrome is fucking us all no matter what form it happens to be taking at the time.

I live in north America and would find it kinda neat.

Same as all other tax funded projects, by some elected people who likely have no idea about the project.

Joking aside, we will see more of this funding due to governments moving to open source software as they tend to want to fund their own stuff.

One can dream.

That or they have a large stake in microsoft.

Why would I entertain an answer at all? It has nothing to do with this conversation other then you wanting a win.

So, no thanks.

I did, and just think its bullshit. Investors have to invest, where would they put it if not in “safe” companies like microsoft?

Its total shit talk to put words and intent into a group of people and funds. They don’t care, they just have money to park and Microsoft is seen as a safe place with a good return. There has been too much invested in this shit for them to change course, but also no alternative to invest in.

No, no they did not. They just said nothing, and execs took that to mean what ever they want. As is tradition.

Like they just licked a French doods ashtray.

Oh it has, but the implications become clear when you look at the ones that did. Like evergrand…

Ha, like 5% of the time. Most of the time its cluster fuck after cluster fuck and visits from the good idea fairies.

Not saying there should not be innovation, but innovation for nothing but to be able to say you are doing innovation is a cancer.

I don’t work in the industry anymore, but I did manage a few “fleets” in my day. However I do know that if I made such a typo (on the literal only data point) I would also be poked fun of when I did work in the terrible tech world. And if I lashed out I would be further dragged over the coals as let’s face it, that would be kinda pathetic.
