This is pure speculation, but I get the feeling Microsoft's gonna significantly downsize, if not collapse, by the decade's end.
This recent move's gonna kneecap Microsoft's ability to function as a company, and their heavy investment into AI mean they'll likely take the brunt of the impact when the bubble bursts.
That's fine, they had a "make money by stepping over morals" philosophy from the very start.
That philosophy always ends in stepping into dogshit to try to boost stock prices.
Yeah, it's not sustainable long-term, but they're not in for it long-term anyway.
I'm kind of dubious its effective in any term whatsoever, unless the term is "nothing works but we got a lot of it".
