    And the most infuriating part is that per-additional-user pricing on all the AI crap is (unlike traditional software) insanely high. Having a 1000 live users in Office 365 barely costs anything, but a hundred ppl clicking buttons in 365 Copilot will need a brand new server rack with a dozen GPUs. Putting it everywhere is simply illogical, you should only use it for when its absolutely required.

    unless you go by stock value instead of logic, of course.

      And that’s exactly what happens, a big old rug pull. Inflate share price for share holders and milk as much as possible regardless of long term effects.
