there was a little window there where I felt like Microsoft wasn't being quite as terrible on policy and issues as the other prominent tech giants, but alas no, grok partnerships and Trump ass kissing make it clear they're just as amoral and soulless as they've always been

I'm convinced that AI systems were created using the misanthropic personalities of tech bros.

So many smart, hard working Microsoft employees who are no longer considered an asset. Hope they find employment elsewhere (Canada perhaps?) where they are properly appreciated.

Today they integrated Grok into several streams and hosted an interview with Elon Musk, which seems to tie marketing priorities to deeper issues like the white genocide in South Africa.
