Microsoft has sunk below Google for market cap for the first time in a couple of years.

~5% down, and it's all about AI and capex on infrastructure, among other things.

Time Magazine dedicated its "Person of the Year" to AI architects, including Musk, Zuckerberg, Lisa Su, and more.

Microsoft was embarrassingly snubbed, underscoring the company's lack of relevance at the AI frontier.

Microsoft reportedly cut its own sales targets for Azure AI because nobody wants to use them.

Google Gemini is also sprinting ahead of Copilot in use, despite Microsoft's early advantages.

We can triple revenues over the next 5 years while cutting costs by 75% using AI. I will provide no further detail on how for the former, and it's eliminating people for the latter. There's my 2025 gaming executive pitch please give me my $2M bonus plzkthx.

It's not ideal (to say the least) that OpenAI's success may depend on big companies using it to replace human workers at huge scales. How will people pay for OpenAI if nobody has a job? The business model is a negative feedback loop.

"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."

New analyses suggest OpenAI's loss-making will require it to find a further $207 billion in funding, even IF it "optimistically" hits profitability by 2030. 😬
