what the fuck is a "AI PC"?

They get to put a sticker on that inflates the value by $600, then fill it with spyware.

It means “VC money now 🥺🥺”

Microsoft is chasing VC money now?

Not VC, more like hedge funds and institutional investors. But yes, all public companies work primarily for higher share prices, and then everything else. I've experienced a public US company paying more than a million USD to save 300k just so they can put out good articles about themselves that they kept promises to shareholders.

Branding. It's just saying it's capable of handling local models on copilot.

If I have to deal with Blockchain cloud computing IoT bullshit as a software engineer, I want everyone else to feel my buzzword pain in the tech they use.
