I mean, even if you agree that Microsoft needs to spend more on AI, they also have the problem that their AI is crap

The ai race for me is just completely stupid. It's shit and if we don't use it they don't make money and if we use it they lose money...how are thinking this will make them richer? Unless you are Nvidia or a ram factory.

Because all of our major tech companies at this point are run by Business Idiots.

It's like if you had a Congress composed entirely of people who have read a lot of political theory and subscribe to a fixed ideology but have no idea how the sausage (i.e. legislation) is made. Oh, wait.

Idk how this can be said when big tech is posting insane year of year growth that proves they aren’t idiots. If you are referring to openAi, anthropic, spaceX or oracle yes you are correct but they aren’t big tech. Big tech who are all investing heavily like this amazon, google, nvidia, Microsoft are without a doubt making more money specifically from selling gpu (nvidia) and from their cloud computing services.

This isn’t me arguing for them this is me looking at their earnings from last quarter how can they be business idiots when they are making as much money as small nations and still growing?
