Pictured: Nadella holding in his hands all the profit M$ can make in the next 30 years even if AI booms like he really really really wants it to.
Oh, you mean there is a risk it becomes the thing it already is? Boy, imagine that!
The really funny thing is how he says that "the benefits need to spread outside the tech sector". Golly gee, I wonder why other sectors haven't benefited yet! Could it be that it's not worth the hype and it does not improve anything that typical computer systems are already working on, like managing electrical grids, keeping track of shipments, avionics, etc? Nah, it's all the doomers' fault
