When corporations become too big they start buying and controlling the press. Remember “metaverse”?

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)

=> Microsoft is in a state of crisis | paid-for media narratives about Google being doomed | Windows is doomed
