But Microsoft doesn't sell to office workers, they sell to executives... who would relish the idea of getting rid of those office workers. And guess who owns "Open" "AI"...



Shareholders will replace executives immediately, and I don't think it's far off.

If you think executives are safe from AI, well I think you're crazy.

Imagine saving hundreds of millions a year in executive salaries by hiring a robot that has 1000x better strategic capabilities than you, is 10x cheaper, has absolutely zero empathy, never sleeps, just optimizes for money and just makes the required cold hard decisions ?

Shareholders will go fucking nuts for this.


will the executives buy legions of Windows machines if they don't have any workers?


No, but Windows is a loss leader for Microsoft now. The real money is in AI and Azure.
