160,000 organisations, sending 251 million messages! […] A message costs one cent. […] Microsoft is forecast to spend $80 billion on AI in 2025.
No problem. To break even, they can raise prices just a little bit, from one cent per message to, uuh, $318 per message. I don’t think that such a tiny price bump is going to reduce usage or scare away any customers, so they can just do that.
Remember Stephen Elop of Nokia’s “burning platform” memo in 2011?
I was entering high school in 2011, so no.
Nokia adopted Windows Mobile as their phone operating system — which failed in the market. Nokia used to own the phone market.
The only real experience I have with Nokia is my dad’s Nokia 3310 (which he exclusively uses as an alarm clock these days) and nonstop memes about the 3310’s supposed indestructibility. Kinda wild to me that Nokia once ruled the entire goddamn phone market.
Nadella going AI is going to be Facebook going Metaverse at the best.
And at worst…well, by my guess, its gonna be “Microsoft accidentally brings forth the Year of the Linux Desktop”
Never underestimate the ability of these companies ability to lobby government officials.
