In a conversation at this year’s rich person convention—aka the World Economic Forum—Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella warned that AI will lose public support unless it’s used to “do something useful that changes the outcomes of people and communities and countries and industries.”

He did at least provide one real example of what he means by all this: “When a doctor can … spend more time with the patient, because the AI is doing the transcription and entering the records in the EMR system, entering the right billing code so that the healthcare industry is better served across the payer, the provider, and the patient, ultimately—that’s an outcome that I think all of us can benefit from.”

    The Internet calling it MicroSlop is probably getting to him.

    From tech bloggers calling them out in adding AI to everything including Notepad, to journalists raising eyebrows to their confusion why other companies aren’t shoving AI into everything, to this:

      I was a die hard windows user that recently installed Linux and suffered through the learning curve because windows was getting that frustrating

          There have been speed bumps with things not working intuitively or strange bugs or being esoteric issues with server hosting requiring significant time spent googling but after overcoming the initial learning curve it has been pleasant but I must admit I’m still early on my journey.

          Discord works this time, streaming and all which is an improvement from last time.

      This is amazing… hundreds of billions poured i to this shitshow whereas if they just dumped hundreds of billions into housing, healthcare, schools, that would have infinitely better outcomes for the public

        That would mean sharing. Which is communism. Which is evil and leads to people not having housing, healthcare, and schools.

          And less money for the CEO. Think of the yachts and leather jackets they could have had!
