      Don’t worry, I’m sure ChatGPT-6 can handle North American enterprise sales. It’s great at hallucinating quotas anyway.

      Cloud is a weird one, I don’t see that going anywhere…I feel like companies should be doubling down on cloud rather than AI.

      Nah can’t be true my LinkedIn says they have 100’s of open positions.  I was thinking of going to work for Salty Nutella and making some Microslop.

      The AI bubble pop is among us. Mag7 have been hiding AI revenues and spending under cloud and data center groups.

      There’s so many reports that the AI software hasn’t generated the ROI relative to spending.

      The only ones who made money were the component suppliers and infrastructure companies.

      Microsoft will be the next Intel. They had their time of being a leader and now it’s just a collapse. Apple is absolutely ripping into their market share of Windows OS. Amazon and Google are eating into Azure. AI will allow companies to replace all the Microslop software in house. Could see bankruptcy in the next decade as even government is transitioning away.
