There’s enough going on to call out Satya here for hyping up a nothing burger. It’s not as world-changing as he makes it sound or else he wouldn’t be imploring people to find a use for it.

His bottom line depends on this bet that everyone is going to depend on AI and pay Microslop rent to use it.

Replace idea of AI with idea of calculator. Yes, brain is less engaged, and yes, calculator make you calculate stuff faster
