the less they care about the consumers who put them where they are today.

Enshittification, the poison of public corporations, call it what you will. This is the last time I participate in their toxic, hostile, and antagonistic march.

But alas, Microsoft cannot help themselves.

It has become clear they aren't just uninterested in their users' opinions; they are openly and actively exploitative, disdainful of them. The more Azure the world gobbles up, the more of our personal data they sell, (3/*)

To me, the bigger story here is the deep rooted lack of critical thinking in society in modern era. A lack of will to truly listen and understand what these technologies are, rather than desperately anthropomorphize them into something they are not. And these AI companies love to hype the idea.
