Microsoft Knows How to Avoid an AI Bubble: Listen Up, Grunts, Discipline Now!

November 18, 2025

green-dino_thumbAnother short essay from a real and still-alive dinobaby. If you see an image, we used AI. The dinobaby is not an artist like Grandma Moses.

I relish statements from the leadership of BAIT (big AI tech) outfits. A case in point is Microsoft. The Fortune story “AI Won’t Become a Bubble As Long As Everyone Stays thoughtful and Disciplined, Microsoft’s Brad Smith Says.” First, let’s consider the meaning of the word “everyone.” I navigated to Yandex.com and used its Alice smart software to get the definition of “everyone”:

The word “everyone” is often used in social and organizational contexts, and to denote universal truths or principles.

That’s a useful definition. Universal truths and principles. If anyone should know, it is Yandex.

Thanks, Venice.ai. Good enough, but the Russian flag is white, blue, and red. Your inclusion of Ukraine yellow was one reason why AI is good enough, not a slam dunk.

But isn’t there a logical issue with the subjective flag “if” and then a universal assertion about everyone? I find the statement illogical. It mostly sounds like English, but it presents a wild and crazy idea at a time when agreement about anything is quite difficult to achieve. Since I am a dinobaby, my reaction to the Fortune headline is obviously out of touch with the “real” world as it exists are Fortune and possibly Microsoft.

Let’s labor forward with the write up, shall we?

I noted this statement in the cited article attributed to Microsoft’s president Brad Smith:

“I obviously can’t speak about every other agreement in the AI sector. We’re focused on being disciplined but being ambitious. And I think it’s the right combination,” he said. “Everybody’s going to have to be thoughtful and disciplined. Everybody’s going to have to be ambitious but grounded. I think that a lot of these companies are [doing that].”

It was not Fortune’s wonderful headline writers who stumbled into a logical swamp. The culprit or crafter of the statement was “1000 Russian programmers did it” Smith. It is never Microsoft’s fault in my view.

But isn’t this the AI go really fast, don’t worry about the future, and break things?

Mr. Smith, according the article said,

“We see ongoing growth in demand. That’s what we’ve seen over the past year. That’s what we expect today, and frankly our biggest challenge right now is to continue to add capacity to keep pace with it.”

I wonder if Microsoft’s hiring social media influencers is related to generating demand and awareness, not getting people to embrace Copilot. Despite its jumping off the starting line first, Microsoft is now lagging behind its “partner” OpenAI and a two or three other BAIT entities.

The Fortune story includes supporting information from a person who seems totally, 100 percent objective. Here’s the quote:

At Web Summit, he met Anton Osika, the CEO of Lovable, a vibe-coding startup that lets anyone create apps and software simply by talking to an AI model. “What they’re doing to change the prototyping of software is breathtaking. As much as anything, what these kinds of AI initiatives are doing is opening up technology opportunities for many more people to do more things than they can do before…. This will be one of the defining factors of the quarter century ahead…”

I like the idea of Microsoft becoming a “defining factor” for the next 25 years. I would raise the question, “What about the Google? Is it chopped liver?

Several observations:

  1. Mr. Smith’s informed view does not line up with hiring social media influencers to handle the “growth and demand.” My hunch is that Microsoft fears that it is losing the consumer perception of Microsoft as the really Big Dog. Right now, that seems to be Super sized OpenAI and the mastiff-like Gemini.
  2. The craziness of “everybody” illustrates a somewhat peculiar view of consensus today. Does everybody include those fun-loving folks fighting in the Russian special operation or the dust ups in Sudan to name two places where “everybody” could be labeled just plain crazy?
  3. Mr. Smith appears to conflate putting Copilot in Notepad and rolling out Clippy in Yeezies with substantive applications not prone to hallucinations, mistakes, and outputs that could get some users of Excel into some quite interesting meetings with investors and clients.

Net net: Yep, everybody. Not going to happen. But the idea is a-thoughtful, which is interesting to me.

Microsoft Could Be a Microsnitch

November 14, 2025

Remember when you were younger and the single threat of, “I’m going to tell!” was enough to send chills through your body?  Now Microsoft plans to do the same thing except on an adult level.  Life Hacker shares that, “Microsoft Teams Will Soon Tell Your Boss When You’re Not In The Office.”  The article makes an accurate observation that since the pandemic most jobs can be done from anywhere with an Internet connection.

Since the end of quarantine, offices are fighting to get their workers back into physical workspaces.  Some of them have implemented hybrid working, while others have become more extreme by counting clock-ins and badge swipes.  Microsoft is adding its own technology to the fight by making it possible to track remote workers.

As spotted by Tom’s Guide, Microsoft Teams will roll out an update in December that will have the option to report whether or not you’re working from your company’s office. The update notes are sparse on details, but include the following: ‘When users connect to their organization’s [wifi], Teams will soon be able to automatically update their work location to reflect the building they’re working from. This feature will be off by default. Tenant admins will decide whether to enable it and require end-users to opt-in.’”

Microsoft whitewashed the new feature by suggesting employees use it to find their teammates.  The article’s author says it all:

“But let’s be real. This feature is also going to be used by companies to track their employees, and ensure that they’re working from where they’re supposed to be working from. Your boss can take a look at your Teams status at any time, and if it doesn’t report you’re working from one of the company’s buildings, they’ll know you’re not in the office. No, the feature won’t be on by default, but if your company wants to, your IT can switch it on, and require that you enable it on your end as well.”

It is ridiculous to demand that employees return to offices, but at the same time many workers aren’t actually doing their job.  The professionals are quiet quitting, pretending to do the work, and ignoring routine tasks. Surveillance seems to be a solution of interest.

It would be easier if humans were just machines. You know, meat AI systems. Bummer, we’re human.  If we can get away with something, many will.  But is Microsoft is going too far here to make sales to ineffective “leadership”?  Worker’s aren’t children, and the big tech company is definitely taking the phrase, “I’m going to tell!” to heart.

Sweet Dreams of Data Centers for Clippy Version 2: The Agentic Operation System

November 13, 2025

green-dino_thumbAnother short essay from a real and still-alive dinobaby. If you see an image, we used AI. The dinobaby is not an artist like Grandma Moses.

If you have good musical recall, I want you to call up the tune for “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) by the Eurythmics. Okay, with that sound track buzzing through your musical memory, put it on loop. I want to point you to two write ups about Microsoft’s plans for a global agentic operating system and its infrastructure. From hiring social media influencers to hitting the podcast circuit, Microsoft is singing its own songs to its often reluctant faithful. Let’s turn down “Sweet Dream” and crank up the MSFT chart climbers.

Trans-continental AI infrastructure. Will these be silent, reduce pollution, and improve the life of kids who live near the facilities? Of course, because some mommies will say, “Just concentrate and put in your ear plugs. I am not telling you again.” Thanks, Venice. Good enough after four tries. Par for the AI course.

The first write up is by the tantalizingly named consulting firm doing business as SemiAnalysis. I smile everything I think about how some of my British friends laugh when they see a reference to a semi-truck. One quipped, “What you don’t have complete trucks in the US?” That same individual would probably say in response to the company name SemiAnalysis, “What you don’t have a complete analysis in the US?” I have no answer to either question, but “SemiAnalysis” does strike me as more amusing a moniker than Booz, Allen, McKinsey, or Bain.

You can find a 5000 word plus segment of a report with the remarkable title “Microsoft’s AI Strategy Deconstructed – From Energy to Tokens” online. To get the complete report, presumably not the semi report, one must subscribe. Thus, the document is content marketing, but I want to highlight three aspects of the MBA-infused write up. These reflect my biases, so if you are not into dinobaby think, click away, gentle reader.

The title “Microsoft’s AI Strategy Deconstructed” is a rah rah rah for Microsoft. I noted:

  1. Microsoft was first, now its is fifth, and it will be number one. The idea is that the inventor of Bob and Clippy was the first out of the gate with “AI is the future.” It stands fifth in terms of one survey’s ranking of usage. This “Microsoft’s AI Strategy Deconstructed” asserts that it is going to be a big winner. My standard comment to this blending of random data points and some brown nosing is, “Really?”
  2. Microsoft is building or at least promising to build lots of AI infrastructure. The write up does not address the very interesting challenge of providing power at a manageable cost to these large facilities. Aerial photos of some of the proposed data centers look quite a bit like airport runways stuffed with bland buildings filled with large numbers of computing devices. But power? A problem looming it seems.
  3. The write up does not pay much attention to the Google. I think that’s a mistake. From data centers in boxes to plans to put these puppies in orbit, the Google has been doing infrastructure, including fiber optic, chips, and interesting investments like its interest in digital currency mining operations. But Google appears to be of little concern to the Microsoft-tilted semi analysis from SemiAnalysis. Remember, I am a dinobaby, so my views are likely to rock the young wizards who crafted this “Microsoft is going to be a Big Dog.” Yeah, but the firm did Clippy. Remember?

The second write up picks up on the same theme: Microsoft is going to do really big things. “Microsoft Is Building Datacenter Superclusters That Span Continents” explains that MSFT’s envisioned “100 Trillion Parameter Models of the Near Future Can’t Be Built in One Place” and will be sort of like buildings that are “two stories tall, use direct-to-chip liquid cooling, and consume “almost zero water.”

The write up adds:

Microsoft is famously one of the few hyperscalers that’s standardized on Nvidia’s InfiniBand network protocol over Ethernet or a proprietary data fabric like Amazon Web Service’s EFA for its high-performance compute environments. While Microsoft has no shortage of options for stitching datacenters together, distributing AI workloads without incurring bandwidth- or latency-related penalties remains a topic of interest to researchers.

The real estate broker Arvin Haddad uses the phrase “Can you spot the flaw?” Okay, let me ask, “Can you spot the flaw in Microsoft’s digital mansions?” You have five seconds. Okay. What happens if the text centric technology upon which current AI efforts are based gets superseded by [a] a technical breakthrough that renders TensorFlow approaches obsolete, expensive, and slow? or [b] China dumps its chip and LLM technology into the market as cheap or open source? My thought is that the data centers that span continents may end up like the Westfield San Francisco Centre as a home for pigeons, graffiti artists, and security guards.

Yikes.

Building for the future of AI may be like shooting at birds not in sight. Sure, a bird could fly though the pellets, but probably not if they are nesting in pond a mile away.

Net net: Microsoft is hiring influencers and shooting where ducks will be. Sounds like a plan.

Will Edge Give Way? If So, Will We Hear Screams of Terror?

October 28, 2025

There are so many play of word titles to make with Microsoft Edge, but we’d be here all day if we indulged ourselves about the browser’s current situation, as found on TechRadar:“Microsoft Is Literally Losing Its Edge, As Browser Reportedly Sheds A Quarter Of Its Users In Six Months – But I’m Not Surprised.” Users are jumping off the edge left and right and zooming over to Google Chrome. Statcounter has the numbers: 73.81% of PC users prefer Chrome and people are on the Edge with the aforementioned browser at 10.37%.

What does this mean?

“That represents a loss of 1.36% over this past month, and a very worrying drop since May 2025, when Edge had a 13.64% market share going by Statcounter’s estimation (and of course, it is just that – an estimation). Matters just seem to be going from bad to worse for Microsoft here.”

Apple users prefer Safari and other browsers like Firefox and the Dark Web’s Tor have their fans. What will Microsoft do in the event that PC users switch to Chrome indefinitely? Will it be another fiasco like Bing?

It sounds like Microsoft is on the edge of a big change. Desktop users can easily download an alternate browser, but mobile devices will probably come preprogrammed with Edge. Not a big deal right? Nope! Microsoft could prevent users from downloading another browser and block their rivals. That will never happen, right? Wrong! It’ll probably happen then there will be this big to do in court because it violates US law.

Microsoft, by Golly, Has an Ethical Compass: It Points to Security? No. Clippy? No. Subscriptions? Yes!

October 27, 2025

green-dino_thumbThis essay is the work of a dumb dinobaby. No smart software required.

The elephants are in training for a big fight. Yo, grass, watch out.

Microsoft AI Chief Says Company Won’t Build Chatbots for Erotica” reports:

Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman said the software giant won’t build artificial intelligence services that provide “simulated erotica,” distancing itself from longtime partner OpenAI. “That’s just not a service we’re going to provide,” Suleyman said on Thursday [October 23, 2025] at the Paley International Council Summit in Menlo Park, California. “Other companies will build that.”

My immediate question: “Will Microsoft build tools and provide services allowing others to create erotica or conduct illegal activities; for example, delivery of phishing emails from the Microsoft Cloud to Outlook users?” A quick no seems to be implicit in this report about what Microsoft itself will do. A more pragmatic yes means that Microsoft will have no easy, quick, and cheap way to restrain what a percentage of its users will either do directly or via some type of obfuscation.

image

Microsoft seems to step away from converting the digital Bob into an adult star or Clippy engaging with a user in a “suggestive” interaction.

The write up adds:

On Thursday, Suleyman said the creation of seemingly conscious AI is already happening, primarily with erotica-focused services. He referenced Altman’s comments as well as Elon Musk’s Grok, which in July launched its own companion features, including a female anime character. “You can already see it with some of these avatars and people leaning into the kind of sexbot erotica direction,” Suleyman said. “This is very dangerous, and I think we should be making conscious decisions to avoid those kinds of things.”

I heard that 25 percent of Internet traffic is related to erotica. That seems low based on my estimates which are now a decade old. Sex not only sells; it seems to be one of the killer applications for digital services whether the user is obfuscated, registered, or using mom’s computer.

My hunch is that the AI enhanced services will trip over their own [a] internal resources, [b] the costs of preventing abuse, sexual or criminal, and [c] the leadership waffling.

There is big money in salacious content. Talking about what will and won’t happen in a rapidly evolving area of technology is little more than marketing spin. The proof will be what happens as AI becomes more unavoidable in Microsoft software and services. Those clever teenagers with Windows running on a cheap computer can do some very interesting things. Many of these will be actions that older wizards do not anticipate or simply push to the margins of their very full 9-9-6 day.

Will AI Topple Microsoft?

October 1, 2025

At least one Big Tech leader is less than enthused about AI rat race. In fact, reports Futurism, “Microsoft CEO Concerned AI Will Destroy the Entire Company.” As the competition puts pressure on the firm to up its AI game, internal stress is building. Senior editor Victor Tangermann writes:

“Morale among employees at Microsoft is circling the drain, as the company has been roiled by constant rounds of layoffs affecting thousands of workers. Some say they’ve noticed a major culture shift this year, with many suffering from a constant fear of being sacked — or replaced by AI as the company embraces the tech. Meanwhile, CEO Satya Nadella is facing immense pressure to stay relevant during the ongoing AI race, which could help explain the turbulence. While making major reductions in headcount, the company has committed to multibillion-dollar investments in AI, a major shift in priorities that could make it vulnerable. As The Verge reports, the possibility of Microsoft being made obsolete as it races to keep up is something that keeps Nadella up at night.”

The CEO recalled his experience with the Digital Equipment Corporation in the 1970s. That once-promising firm lost out to IBM after a series of bad decisions, eventually shuttering completely in the 90s. Nadella would like to avoid a similar story for Microsoft. One key element is, of course, hiring the right talent—a task that is getting increasingly difficult. And expensive.

A particularly galling provocation comes from Elon Musk. Hard to imagine, we know. The frenetic entrepreneur has announced an AI project designed to “simulate” Microsoft’s Office software. Then there is the firm’s contentious relationship with OpenAI to further complicate matters. Will Microsoft manage to stay atop the Big Tech heap?

Microsoft AI: Options, Chaos, Convergence, or Complexity

September 30, 2025

green-dino_thumbThis essay is the work of a dumb dinobaby. No smart software required.

Have you wondered why it is easy to paste a jpeg image into PowerPoint and have it stay in one place? Have you tried to paste the same jpeg image into Word and have it stay in one place? What’s the difference? I will let you ponder the origin of the two programs and why pasting is baffling in sister products. Hint: Find out who coded the applications.

What’s this simple pair of questions have to do with putting Anthropic into Microsoft Copilot? I learned about this alleged management move in “Microsoft Adds Claude to Copilot but Cross Cloud AI Could Raise New Governance Challenges.”

My first thought was, “What is governance in the Microsoft Copilot everywhere approach to smart software?” I did the first thing a slouching high school student would do, I asked Claude for clarification:

Here’s my prompt for Claude:

The context for this prompt is Microsoft Corporation’s approach to smart software. The company is involved with OpenAI. The software giant acqui-hired other AI professionals. There is a team working on home-brew artificial intelligence. Now you (Anthropic Claude) will become available to the users of Copilot. In this context, what does the management buzzword “governance” when it comes to wrangling these multiple AI initiatives, deployments, and services?

Here’s a snapshot of Claude’s answer. I have edited it so it fits into this short blog post. Claude is a wordy devil.

…governance” represents the orchestration framework for managing competing priorities, overlapping capabilities, and divergent AI philosophies under a unified strategic vision.

What does the cited Computerworld article say?

Microsoft is presenting Claude not as a replacement for GPT models, but as a complementary option.

Okay, Copilot user. You figure it out. At least, that’s how I interpret this snippet.

The write up adds:

Unlike OpenAI’s GPT models, which run on Azure, Anthropic’s Claude runs on AWS. Microsoft has warned customers that Anthropic models are hosted outside Microsoft-managed environments and subject to Anthropic’s Terms of Service. So every time Claude is used, it crosses cloud borders that bring governance challenges, and new egress bills in latency.

Managing and optimizing seem to be the Copilot user’s job. I wonder if those Microsoft Certified Professionals are up to speed on the Amazon AWS idiosyncrasies. (I know the answer is, “Absolutely.” Do I believe it? Nope.)

Observations

  1. If OpenAI falls over will Anthropic pick up the slack? Nope, at least not until the user figures out how to perform this magic trick.
  2. Will users of Copilot know when to use which AI system? Eventually but the journey will be an interesting and possibly expensive one. Tuition in the School of Hard AI Knocks is not cheap.
  3. Will users craft solutions that cross systems and maintain security and data access controls / settings? I know the answer will be, “Yes, Microsoft has security nailed.” I am a bit skeptical.

Net net: I think the multi AI model approach provides a solid foundation for chaos, complexity, and higher costs. But I am a dinobaby. What do I know?

Microsoft: The Secure Discount King

September 10, 2025

Dino 5 18 25Just a dinobaby sharing observations. No AI involved. My apologies to those who rely on it for their wisdom, knowledge, and insights.

Let’s assume that this story in The Register is dead accurate. Let’s forget that Google slapped the $0.47 smart software price tag on its Gemini smart software. Now let’s look at the interesting information in “Microsoft Rewarded for Security Failures with Another US Government Contract.” Snappy title. But check out the sub-title for the article: “Free Copilot for Any Agency Who Actually Wants It.”

I did not know that a US government agency was human signaled by the “who.” But let’s push forward.

The article states:

The General Services Administration (GSA) announced its new deal with Microsoft on Tuesday, describing it as a “strategic partnership” that could save the federal government as much as $3.1 billion over the next year. The GSA didn’t mention specific discount terms, but it said that services, including Microsoft 365, Azure cloud services, Dynamics 365, Entra ID Governance, and Microsoft Sentinel, will be cheaper than ever for feds.  That, and Microsoft’s next-gen Clippy, also known as Copilot, is free to access for any agency with a G5 contract as part of the new deal, too. That free price undercuts Google’s previously cheapest-in-show deal to inject Gemini into government agencies for just $0.47 for a year.

Will anyone formulate the hypothesis that Microsoft and Google are providing deep discounts to get government deals and the every-popular scope changes, engineering services, and specialized consulting fees?

I would not.

I quite like comparing Microsoft’s increasingly difficult to explain OpenAI, acqui-hire, and home-grown smart software as Clippy. I think that the more apt comparison is the outstanding Microsoft Bob solution to interface complexity.

The article explains that Oracle landed contracts with a discount, then Google, and now Microsoft. What about the smaller firms? Yeah, there are standard procurement guidelines for those outfits. Follow the rules and stop suggesting that giant companies are discounting there way into the US government.

What happens if these solutions hallucinate, do not deliver what an Inspector General, an Independent Verification & Validation team, or the General Accounting Office expects? Here’s the answer:

With the exception of AWS, all the other OneGov deals that have been announced so far have a very short shelf life, with most expirations at the end of 2026. Critics of the OneGov program have raised concerns that OneGov deals have set government agencies up for a new era of vendor lock-in not seen since the early cloud days, where one-year discounts leave agencies dependent on services that could suddenly become considerably more expensive by the end of next year.

The write up quotes one smaller outfit’s senior manager’s concern about low prices. But the deals are done, and the work on the 2026-2027 statements of work has begun, folks. Small outfits often lack the luxury of staff dedicated to extending a service provider’s engagement into a year or two renewal target.

The write up concludes by bringing up ancient history like those pop archaeologists on YouTube who explain that ancient technology created urns with handles. The write up says:

It was mere days ago that we reported on the Pentagon’s decision to formally bar Microsoft from using China-based engineers to support sensitive cloud services deployed by the Defense Department, a practice Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth called “mind-blowing” in a statement last week.  Then there was last year’s episodes that allowed Chinese and Russian cyber spies to break into Exchange accounts used by high-level federal officials and steal a whole bunch of emails and other information. That incident, and plenty more before it, led former senior White House cyber policy director AJ Grotto to conclude that Microsoft was an honest-to-goodness national security threat. None of that has mattered much, as the feds seem content to continue paying Microsoft for its services, despite wagging their finger at Redmond for “avoidable errors.”

Ancient history or aliens? I don’t know. But Microsoft does deals, and it is tough to resist “free”.

Dr. Bob Clippy Will See You Now

September 8, 2025

I cannot wait for AI to replace my trusted human physician whom I’ve been seeing for years. “Microsoft Claims its AI Tool Can Diagnose Complex Medical Cases Four Times More Accurately than Doctors,” Fortune reports. The company made this incredible claim in a recent blog post. How did it determine this statistic? By taking the usual resources away from human doctors it pitted against its AI. Senior Reporter Alexa Mikhail tells us:

“The team at Microsoft noted the limitations of this research. For one, the physicians in the study had between five and 20 years of experience, but were unable to use textbooks, coworkers, or—ironically—generative AI for their answers. It could have limited their performance, as these resources may typically be available during a complex medical situation.”

You don’t say? Additionally, the study did not include everyday cases. You know, the sort doctors do not need to consult books or coworkers to diagnose. Seems legit. Microsoft says it sees the tool as a complement to doctors, not a replacement for them. That sounds familiar.

Mikahil notes AI already permeates healthcare: Most of us have looked up symptoms with AI-assisted Web searches. ChatGPT is actively being used as a psychotherapist (sometimes for better, often for worse). Many healthcare executives are eager to take this much, much further. So are about half of US patients and 63% of clinicians, according to the 2025 Philips Future Health Index (FHI), who expect AI to improve health outcomes. We hope they are correct, because there may be no turning back now.

AI Words Are the Surface: The Deeper Thought Embedding Is the Problem with AI

September 3, 2025

Dino 5 18 25This blog post is the work of an authentic dinobaby. Sorry. No smart software can help this reptilian thinker. 

Humans are biased. Content generated by humans reflects these mental patterns. Smart software is probabilistic. So what?

Select the content to train smart software. The more broadly the content base, the greater range of biases will be baked into the Fancy Dan software. Then toss in the human developers who make decisions about thresholds, weights, and rounding. Mix in the wrapper code that does the guardrails which are created by humans with some of those biases, attitudes, and idiosyncratic mental equipment.

Then provide a system to students and people eager to get more done with less effort and what do you get? A partial and important glimpse of the consequences of about 2.5 years of AI as the next big thing are presented in “On-Screen and Now IRL: FSU Researchers Find Evidence of ChatGPT Buzzwords Turning Up in Everyday Speech.”

The write up reports:

“The changes we are seeing in spoken language are pretty remarkable, especially when compared to historical trends,” Juzek said. “What stands out is the breadth of change: so many words are showing notable increases over a relatively short period. Given that these are all words typically overused by AI, it seems plausible to conjecture a link.”

Conjecture. That’s a weasel word. Once words are embedded they dragged a hard sided carry on with them.

The write up adds:

“Our research highlights many important ethical questions,” Galpin said. “With the ability of LLMs to influence human language comes larger questions about how model biases and misalignment, or differences in behavior in LLMs, may begin to influence human behaviors.”

As more research data become available, I project that several factoids will become points of discussion:

  1. What happens when AI outputs are weaponized for political, personal, or financial gain?
  2. How will people consuming AI outputs recognize that their vocabulary and the attendant “value baggage” is along for the life journey?
  3. What type of mental remapping can be accomplished with shaped AI output?

For now, students are happy to let AI think for them. In the future, will that warm, fuzzy feeling persist. If ignorance is bliss, I say, “Hello, happy.”
