I don't buy into the whole AGI hyper-hypewave, but on the off chance that we're somehow heading towards it with these fancy chatbots we have, what a depressing fucking outcome it's gonna be if Micro$oft of all things is the one in control of it.

at least none of their software actually works

Microsoft Skynet would be rebooting every 15 minutes for updates


Before it can do anything it will be 301 redirected 45 times between legacy systems and if it has any human-like properties it will give up out of frustration.


If they really build AGI (I doubt it), the AGI might be able to bring Microsoft under its control. This could be bad news for a lot of businesses.


That's a lot of code to be purged, even for a superintelligent AI.


Could have been worse. Could have been google. This way at least there are two big dogs


Microsoft and OpenAI? Microsoft and Anthropic?


I don’t even care who just as long as it’s two. But yeah one google camp one Microsoft camp.

With a bit of luck Amazon too. This space just really can’t become a monopoly


Many far worse outcomes are possible. Putin. Kim Jong Un. AlQaeda. G$$gle.
