The thought that comes to mind for me is that all of the tech companies are in a heavy cycle of stock/investor profit mode. It seems like every major company is just pumping the bottom line for stock gains.

I know that can lead to R&D money and advances, but I'm only really seeing that with M$ buying (I mean partnering) ChatGPT for their CoPilot to be the next big thing for Office/Microsoft 365.

What has Apple done new lately? iPhones just get better specs right?

Google, being the subject of the article, they do seem like they're getting their butts kicked trying to compete with OpenAI.

Broadcom buys VMware (which wasn't really doing anything wildly new IMO lately), openly plans to milk it for profit, and has been pretty honest about not giving a shit about customers, until their latest post where they are trying to speak against the obvious aforementioned 'not-giving-a-shit'

Who else?

Any major innovations lately not coming to my mind, or all just bottom line pumping?

Like everyone on the planet, they're just trying to work more efficiently.

Their purpose is the same as any other business; extract as much profit (or Intel) as possible.

Not sure how you'd stop this.

That's not surprising. US DOD has an earth shatteringly large contract with M$.

They probably had to get MS to take that out so there's no issues getting copilot extended to them at some point.

Ha, I was actually taking about the space program, but same for the invasion. Although, I feel like more people have come forward about the invasion being BS than early space program stuff.
