Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella says 'the age of AI is upon us'
Microsoft's CEO reaffirmed the company's bullish stance on AI during its latest earnings call.
Today, Microsoft held its Q2 2023 earnings call. During the call, company leadership spoke about the company’s recent performance and expectations for the future. AI has been a hot topic around tech circles and was at the forefront of Microsoft’s latest round of earnings. During the earnings call, CEO and chairman Satya Nadella made clear that AI tech will continue to grow when he said that “the age of AI is upon us.”
Nadella’s bullish AI quote came from an early portion of the Microsoft Q2 2023 earnings call, while he was giving his opening remarks. “The age of AI is upon us, and Microsoft is powering it. We are witnessing nonlinear improvements in the capability of foundation models, which we are making available as platforms.”

Microsoft’s commitment to AI technology goes far beyond the words of its CEO. Just yesterday, the company confirmed that it would be making a multi-billion dollar investment in ChatGPT maker OpenAI. This comes after two previous investments made in the company in 2021 and 2019. Microsoft has been using ChatGPT to bolster Bing, and will be taking advantage of OpenAI’s artificial intelligence research for future endeavors.
Microsoft also boasted that its supercomputers are some of the best in the world, used by companies like OpenAI to train AI programs. Microsoft is confident in the future of AI, and plans to be a major player in that field as it grows and expands.
It's quite possible that the world of AI is indeed upon us. As we continue to monitor it, stick with Shacknews for the most interesting stories.

Eh, I don't get annoyed when I read corporate speak these days, I just parse it and move on. More than anything else, I just wonder who that sort of language actually appeals to since I have to imagine most business folks are just tired of hearing it.

It's insane how AI is like 94% of the news stories all of a sudden.

After a decade of drought of natural intelligence, people are hungry for whatever intelligence they can get.

the novelty will wear off once a coat is applied to it.
there’s real use though, and not all of it dangerous.
that said, and others have already said it, people who can leverage it are going to have a field day displacing those who can’t.
personally, it has already vastly increased my output.-

I cloud stuff; software engineering-adjacent work. it’s a whole lot of “insert rod A into slot B”
there’s a tool called Terraform, and it utilizes a declarative language called HCL. the beauty of declarative languages is that there’s not much abstract thinking involved in how things come together. everything you need to be good with it is out there, and none of it is stealing “someone else’s code.” everyone uses the resources the same way, just with tweaks to match their own configuration.
I can describe what I want to do in relative detail, and it handles the task of finding and writing the most basic implementation of what I want to do. I don’t have to search through documentation and find XYZ, it gives me a good enough collection of them for me to build.
it handles the “search for resource, copy into module” part for me, and gets things roughly 80% correct but hours faster.
it still takes deep knowledge of the infrastructure you’re working with. nobody’s “taking my job” anytime soon because constructing a proper application infrastructure / platform is not at all a trivial task. it just very much removes the tedious parts that require minimal thought so I have more time to focus on the more difficult aspects.

Yup. Anyone who isn't learning how to use the tools now, or at least planning for how they'll do so down the line, is going to be at a serious disadvantage sooner rather than later.

I think they realized with the AR stuff that they're better off sticking to the backend stuff by going all in with Mesh than trying to do the hardware themselves. Why make a HMD when you can make the software and services that that they all use to connect?
I can't say I disagree, but I still feel awful for the people who were cut. -

I think it's a combination of its own HoloLens being a dumpster fire, and also seeing Meta not be able to really create a good experience with it either.

they just had huge push back from the US military on HoloLens:

From what I read their contract with the Army has been a goat rope and the army is not happy about it.
