Tech titans are consolidating people, much to the detriment of consumers. With lots of funding and bad business models. Despite some impressive open-weight solutions.
I’m not entirely sure what shareholders expect though, Copilot+PC is a privacy nightmare, especially given Microsofts track record (it comes with being the most used OS), and the whole subscription model is doomed to fail unless it guarantees complete security. But, as I said before, convenience is the opposite of security.
