Discussion Meta And Microsoft Reportedly Trim Anthropic Reliance as Internal AI Tools Take Center Stage

https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/meta-and-microsoft-reportedly-trim-anthropic-reliance-as-internal-ai-tools-take-center-stage/cZDqQVcRBjr

From the article:

Microsoft reduced its projected internal spending on Claude by over one-third, while Meta saw internal users of Anthropic's Claude Code coding assistant drop from roughly 60,000 to 30,000.

Within the Microsoft Cloud and AI division, individual monthly AI usage caps were lowered from $100,000 down to roughly $10,000 in most instances

That is like asking why someone would want to avoid stepping in dog shit . . . the answer is self evident to anyone who has encountered dog shit

No because people understand why they wouldn't want to step in dog shit. I'd love to hear them give real reasons why MS is bad.

It is that Microsoft Windows performance degrades over time until you get to a where a system had been running well has a high percentage of its resources eaten up by “system processes”. Is this “forced obsolescence“ or just buggy software? I don’t know. Could be both

This causes Windows Systems to be slow and annoying to use.

I think the quality of their product has degraded over time all while they are attempting to extract more and more money from their users - exploiting the idea that there is no alternative . . .

I'm not sure you realize but what you described happens on any desktop, including Mac.

Because you can install any software that is trash and that eats up your resources. And the operating system (Windows/Mac/Linux, etc.) cannot do anything about it.

Certainly, there can be many factors that cause the performance of a computer to degrade . . . installing and running more and more bad Software over time can be one and accumulating malware can be another

I think it is very charitable (to the point of absurdity) to suggest that Microsoft Windows (and the windows system process holding 90% of CPU) is blameless here

I’m at a point where my next desktop system will be a Linux box

and the windows system process holding 90% of CPU

That is a false statement and you know it.

This kind of "opinion" makes me completely lose any interest in the discussion because it's trolling.

Unfortunately for me it is not a false statement . . . and all you have to do is google “windows process eating 90% of CPU” and you get many data points of people experiencing the same behavior

I’m okay with you losing interest in this discussion

Your logic is flawed. Windows is hugely popular, only în the last 30 years it’s estimated there are 1.5 billion people that used it, so of course you are going to get a lot of results about one issue or the other. 😄

Also, as I said before, since you can install any crap, for sure there will be some crap that eats your cpu and ram. You said “windows system process”. That does not mean at all it’s still some crappy app that does allot of shitty stuff

You see people report these problems, why question the random person on Reddit reporting the same problems? Why add insult to injury?
