Ed Zitron’s article about Microsoft’s cultish growth mindset makes sense here. Everything Microsoft is indeed recently being affected by on outbreak of rampant growths, not all benign. It goes directly against that familiar no nonsense vibe which lulled the user base & their corporate overlords into a sense of safety and comfort.

It might not be too late for them to avoid being devoured by the genAI fuelled feature outburst, but they really should be getting those lumps checked out. Russian roulette AI keylogger first and foremost. Gross.
