Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Nobody wants Copilot Pro AI for Office 365 — so Microsoft will force-bundle it and raise the price (pivot-to-ai.com)

I hate AI as much as anyone, but this article is shitty fearmongering. Buried at the end it admits there's actually no price increase, there's just a new tier with optional features.

A “classic” Office 365 subscription will be available at the old price if you really don’t want the AI — for now.

Not really fear mongering, when Microsoft has proven that the "for now" is held up. Like the whole Recall fiasco. They canceled it "for now", and now it's published. Their "for now" is actually "for just right now, until heat subsides". Microsoft can go suck on a tailpipe.

Australian users are already reporting they can't actually find the "classic" option at all.
