We know the tech companies are exploitative and dishonest, but Microsoft’s latest action takes the cake. It got off easy during the antitrust push, but it’s just as bad as the rest.

It’s another company we should be trying to rid ourselves of.

Generative AI is a massive con, and an expensive one to keep running. As companies keep splashing out on massive data centers to power the technology, they need money — and part of the way they’re getting it is by squeezing existing customers.
