Summary: It bears repeating that Microsoft is in a state of crisis (burning energy for LLMs using mostly unused/abandoned Azure capacity is money down the drain; there’s no business model!) and all those paid-for media narratives about Google being doomed (Windows is doomed) are ludicrous because Bing is collapsing and there are many layoffs (even whole offices are being vacated in Bellevue)
