Microsoft is just aiming to revive their monopoly but this time through AI. Beware. You think Google is bad? It is. But wait until MS can get their hooks into you with AI products that know just about everything about you and that tattle your every action back to the MotherShip in order to make it that much more sticky.

but its not just MSFT doing this. It's literally everyone. Google had such a strong position for so long, and LLMs so suddenly breached that position, that everyone is racing towards the LLM future where they have as much data as they can get their hands on. Google, apple, microsoft, etc.

It's definitely not just MSFT doing this. But MSFT is the one I worry about most because they've shown in the past that they don't hesitate to employ really shady tactics if they think that it will get them an advantage and they can get away with it.

Arguably of a slightly worse shade than Google and Apple, though the latter have plenty in the skeleton cupboards as well.

Is this already priced into their stock price ?

It would be funny if it were, especially if a large regulator makes a move.

How is microsoft worse then any other of the tech giants?

[jacquesm]

Because they were already rotten to the core before many of the later crop existed with the exception of Apple.
