It’s the same mindless AI spin every day. Do your research. AI can’t “do” maths, it doesn’t store “knowledge”, it can’t verify its own results, it has no logic or deduction capability, it’s not trusted in law or medicine, it often mixes up “he” and “she”, it’s only right 50% of the time, and it can hallucinate. It’s the biggest scam in history. If AI is so good why aren’t the AI “experts” on their super yachts ? LOL. The AI company fraudsters and their clueless fanboys and influencers will disappear.

All the experts suddenly come out of the woodwork after a good sets of results…. Which is useless for investors. Pls schedule them before results are announced 😂

Microsoft is currently dominating the AI landscape through sheer pragmatism. Rather than betting everything on a single proprietary architecture, they are fully embracing the reality of commoditized assets—happily hosting top-tier American and Chinese models alike based purely on performance and pricing. At the same time, they continue to invest in training their own frontier models to maintain essential technical depth and “skin in the game,” even though their broader business model does not require their proprietary models to be the absolute best.
This pragmatic shift is equally evident in their developer tooling. Originally, the Copilot coding agent struggled with performance limitations. Because Microsoft bundled the tool into low-cost enterprise subscriptions, they faced the risk of unsustainable server-side costs from heavy, daily usage, forcing them to heavily throttle and restrict the Copilot CLI.
A turning point arrived on June 1st, when Microsoft restructured the Copilot coding agent around a transparent token-consumption model and lifted the artificial constraints on the CLI. Free from the financial bottlenecks of flat-rate subscriptions, the Copilot CLI has evolved into a genuinely exceptional development environment.
