Perplexity CEO told Joe Rogan that Microsoft created office work. The dates say otherwise. To be fair to him, half of it is true. Gates really did want a PC on every desk, and Microsoft did make Word and Excel the default tools that almost every office job trains...

Microsoft invented the knowledge worker to sell more office software. That's not a conspiracy theory. That's what happened. Bill Gates vision was simple: put a PC on every desk. Not to make computing beautiful (that was Steve Jobs). Just to sell more software. Word. Excel. Email. People went to tutorials to learn these tools. Then companies made them the price of admission for employment. The entire concept of an office career was a sales strategy. Now AI is replacing the very work Microsoft created. And maybe that's not a bad thing. Because sitting in a cubicle using Excel was never how humans were supposed to find purpose. The most curious people have the most fulfilling lives. Not the richest. Not the smartest. The whole knowledge economy was built to sell software. What happens when the software sells itself?

Balaji Srinivasan on taking the L to set up for the W: "Before Satya Nadella took over Microsoft, it was losing on mobile to iOS and Android." "He took the L... and he said, 'You know what? Linux is there. Linux is not going to go away.'" "We're going to run Linux on Microsoft hardware." "Mobile is not going away and nobody's installing the Microsoft mobile OS." "So we're going to allow Word and PowerPoint and Excel to run on iOS and Android devices." "And... the browser isn't going away. So we're going to make Office 365 work in the cloud." "Because he took the L, Satya set Microsoft up for the W." Balaji with Peter McCormack 🏴‍☠️🇬🇧🇮🇪

holy shit! this is INSANE… Microsoft just launched copilot cowork. built with Anthropic. you describe what you want done. it turns your request into a plan and executes it across outlook, teams, excel. 90% of the fortune 500 already use copilot or Microsoft tools. now it does the work for you. the execution era is here and only accelerating.

Matt Mullenweg told us the best acquisition his company ever made. He'd been studying Microsoft. For every $1 Microsoft made on Windows, the ecosystem around it made about $20. He wanted the app that sat on top of WordPress the way Office sat on top of Windows. He found it in a 40-person company in South Africa with 4 engineers. It was called woocommerce. They beat out a private equity firm to buy it. Last year over $30b in goods and services sold through it.

Microsoft is deceiving you by inflating its AI empire with money it handed its OWN customer first. They sold Wall Street a $37 billion AI business, then went silent the moment its own filing showed where that money came from. The line sits in the annual report for fiscal 2026: Microsoft recorded $24.1 billion of revenue from commercial arrangements with OpenAI, including revenue sharing payments. If you run that figure against Microsoft's own AI disclosures you'll find that OpenAI made up more than half, and likely around 70%, of everything the company counts as AI sales. ONE customer. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed the figure covers all sales and revenue share from OpenAI. The 70% comes by assuming Microsoft's AI run rate kept growing at the 123% pace the company itself reported in March, which is the company's own optimistic math turned around on it. Now follow where that money starts: Microsoft has put around $12 billion into OpenAI since 2019. OpenAI spends its cash on computing power, and Microsoft is the cloud provider selling it. So the money leaves as an investment and comes back as an Azure bill. Microsoft then books that bill as AI revenue and shows it to investors as proof the AI business is "working." Microsoft invests in OpenAI -> OpenAI buys Microsoft compute -> Microsoft records the payment as AI revenue -> the AI growth story goes to Wall Street And a chunk of it never actually arrived. The same filing shows $6 billion of accounts receivable from OpenAI as of June 30. That is $6 billion of AI revenue Microsoft booked and had not been paid when the year closed. Now here's where it gets really concerning for anyone holding the stock... Microsoft has told the public how big its total AI business is exactly twice. Once for the quarter ending December 2024, when it said the unit was on pace for more than $13 billion a year. And once for the quarter ending March 2026, when Satya Nadella put it on pace for $37 billion. That $37 billion number went everywhere. It was the headline proof that Microsoft had won the AI race. Then fourth quarter earnings arrived, and Microsoft did NOT update it. The company that had been announcing the figure as its own scoreboard stopped announcing the figure. In the same stretch, the filing landed showing where most of it came from. So what is actually left underneath? The full year AI business ran near $34 billion. Take OpenAI out and roughly $10 billion remains. Microsoft has spent about $261 billion on capital expenditure since the start of 2022. That is the scale of the bet against what the rest of the AI business currently brings in. And the one customer holding it up is walking further away every quarter. In October, Microsoft's stake in OpenAI dropped to 27% from 32.5%. In April the partnership was rewritten so OpenAI can sell its products across any cloud it likes, which is how Amazon got a seat at the table. The exclusivity that made this arrangement valuable is gone. The compute bill and the unpaid $6 billion are still on Microsoft's books. Nadella spent two years telling the market Microsoft built the largest AI business in software. The filing shows one client bought most of it, on credit, using money Microsoft partly supplied. So watch the next earnings call: If Microsoft puts a fresh total AI number back on the board, the business found customers beyond OpenAI. If you hear a lot about AI momentum and never hear what it adds up to, you already know why the number went missing. But nonetheless, how is something like this even legal?

man anthropic is absolutely cooking microsoft. claude now works natively in word, powerpoint and excel. thats 450M users but how the fuck did anthropic beat microsoft co-pilot? it gets worse - microsoft blew $13B creating co-pilot and owns 27% of openai yet no sign on chatgpt. - claude has access to SHARED context across excel, word and powerpoint. they know the footprint of microsoft's users - very valuable AI data. - only 15M microsoft users pay for copilot, so its clear they need to go model-agnostic - this is the 3rd major microsoft product to leverage claude (cowork and deep research are the other 2) very impressive execution from anthropic tbh, they are trying to be everywhere and anywhere - its working

The owner of a real estate company thought it would be fun to build everyone their own tiny home as an office instead of the typical boring cubicles. He felt that it would be more private for them and it would be fun for the to customize and make it their own. When the workers get to work they seem to be at a home away from home. They are happier and more productive. Would you want to work in your own home office like this or should he just let them have cubicles like everyone else?

Microsoft just betrayed OpenAI and Anthropic, the two companies it helped build. And it could break the entire AI trade... Here's what happened: Inside Excel and Outlook, two of the most used business apps on Earth, Microsoft has started routing tens of thousands of AI requests every week to its own in-house models instead of OpenAI and Anthropic. Microsoft's own AI chief, Mustafa Suleyman, said himself: "We pay a lot of money to Anthropic, so our goal is to reduce and ultimately ELIMINATE that cost." This is the company that poured $13 billion into OpenAI and effectively created the modern AI industry, and it just decided the most advanced models on the market are NOT worth paying for. And here's the thing... Microsoft is not just ripping out OpenAI everywhere - it is being surgical about it. The hardest and rarest tasks can still go to OpenAI or Anthropic. What Microsoft is taking back is the boring, high-volume work, like the email replies, the thread summaries, and the simple spreadsheet formulas. Why does that matter so much? Because that boring, repetitive work is where the actual money lives. The frontier labs assumed businesses would push BILLIONS of these tiny requests through expensive models forever. That endless river of tokens is the entire reason OpenAI and Anthropic are valued in the hundreds of billions of dollars. Microsoft looked at that river, decided it was massively overpaying, and rerouted it to models it owns outright. So the single biggest customer in the industry just walked off with the most profitable part of the business. And it is not only Microsoft: That same week, CNBC reported that American companies have been escaping to Chinese AI models to dodge rising US prices. Chinese models now handle more than 30% of US companies' AI usage on one major platform, peaking at 46%, up from an average of 11% a year earlier. They cost 60 to 90% less, and on some benchmarks they land within a single point of the best American model. One US startup moved ALL of its AI traffic off Claude and onto China's DeepSeek, and expects to save millions. Meanwhile Meta just admitted it has "excess" AI compute it wants to sell, becoming the first giant to concede it built far too much. Do you see the pattern forming? For two years, the entire AI story rested on one assumption: Every company on Earth would happily pay premium prices for the best model, forever. That assumption literally died in a single week. And the market noticed. More than a trillion dollars has been wiped off AI and chip stocks in a matter of days, as Wall Street finally started asking whether all of this spending will ever pay for itself. What this means for OpenAI and Anthropic: Their models are extraordinary, and it may not matter because their own biggest customers have decided they do not NEED the best model in the world to answer an email, and "good enough" now costs a fraction of the price. When even Microsoft refuses to pay full price for AI, the real question becomes who exactly IS left to pay it. What do you think?

Bill Gates told Satya Nadella that Microsoft's 2019 $1B investment in OpenAI was the equivalent of lighting the money on fire. What did it mean for Microsoft to invest in the unproven nonprofit? "I didn't put in that billion dollars saying 'Oh yeah, this is going to be a hundred bagger.' That's not what was going through our heads." "We had a high risk tolerance and we said we want to go and give this a shot."

The entire AI industry is racing to build the smartest model. Satya Nadella just admitted that is not where the money is. The model is not the product. The harness is. That is the exact line. And it changes what Microsoft is actually competing on. OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, Meta every frontier lab is pouring hundreds of billions into training compute, chasing the next capability jump. Each betting that raw model intelligence is the moat. Microsoft is doing the opposite. It is building the harness the orchestration layer that sits above the model, connecting it to tools, data, permissions, sub-agents, and enterprise workflows. And it is letting OpenAI, Anthropic, and MAI compete to plug into it. "You need the model. But the model is not the product. The harness is." So do the math on what a harness actually does. A raw model dropped into an enterprise answers questions. That is a chatbot. A harness turns that same model into an agent that reads the SharePoint, edits the ERP entry, pulls the GitHub PR, updates Salesforce, and files the Excel report with the right permissions, the right audit trail, and the right sub-agent for each sub-task. The model provides the intelligence. The harness converts intelligence into work. Now here's where it gets interesting. "Even the best model in the world will feel broken without a great harness. And an okay model with a great harness can feel like magic." If that is true, the enterprise buyer is not buying model quality. The enterprise buyer is buying the harness. Which means model quality becomes a commodity input over time, and harness quality becomes the sustainable moat. Compare that to the strategy the entire frontier lab industry is executing. Everyone else is chasing the numerator raw intelligence. Almost nobody at scale is racing to build the denominator the orchestration layer that determines whether that intelligence can actually be deployed profitably inside a real company. The frontier model race has a 10 to 20 percent chance of producing a single dominant winner. Nadella just told the industry he does not need to be that winner. If OpenAI wins, Microsoft wins. If Anthropic wins, Microsoft wins. If MAI wins, Microsoft wins. If someone Microsoft has never heard of trains a better model in 2027, Microsoft still wins. Because the compute they train on, the harness they get plugged into, the enterprise contracts they get delivered through, and the products they sit inside are all Microsoft. He is not building the best AI model. He is building the layer that the best AI model has to run on to make anyone money. I wonder which position looks more valuable in ten years.

He is not building the best AI model. He is building the layer that the best AI model has to run on to make anyone money. I wonder which position looks more valuable in ten years.

The cold is British. They just never told you. ❄️🇬🇧 Every air conditioner, every fridge, every freezer on earth, the cold inside all of it was first made by a Scotsman. In 1756. ❄️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 His name was William Cullen, a doctor in Edinburgh. In a warm room, with no ice and no winter, he drew the air from a glass of ether until it boiled cold and drank the heat from the water around it, until the water froze. No one had ever done it before. Then he wrote it down and walked away. No machine, no patent, no fortune. Just the proof, on a bench. It sat there the better part of a century. A British bench built the first machine that worked, and a Scot carried it across the world to Australia, where it froze meat and cooled beer. But cold was only half the story. ❄️📖 To master the air itself took another Scot. When the Houses of Parliament burned down in 1834, David Boswell Reid made the new building breathe, its gothic spires its lungs. At St George's Hall in Liverpool in 1851 he built what is often called the first air-conditioned building on earth. It should have made him. He died forgotten in America instead. 40 years on, Willis Carrier built the machine and earned his name as the father of modern air conditioning. He earned every bit of it. But he did not make the cold. The cold was British. America took that inheritance and cooled the world with it, and that is no theft. That is what an inheritance is for. We are the home of British heroes. Not built by ads, not by the government, built by us. There's a place for you with us. Be part of us. ☝️🇬🇧 Be Proud Of Us. 🙏🇬🇧

In Ancient Rome, an "office" wasn't a building, it was a person's staff. The word comes from “officium”, referring to a magistrate's retinue of aides and administrators, each one called an officialis. If you held real authority, your "office" was the group of people around you handling correspondence, records, and logistics on your behalf. This wasn't a small operation. Surviving records like the Notitia Dignitatum, a late Roman administrative document, list out the staffing structures for provincial governors and military commanders in detail: ranks, roles, and reporting lines not far off from a modern org chart. Coordination happened the only way it could: in person, in the same building, one conversation at a time. It wasn't until the word crossed into English in the 1200s that "office" started to mean a place instead of a role, and even later before it came to mean the literal room or building we picture today. For most of its history, the word wasn't about where you worked. It was about who was working with you.

Bill Gates just called AI the biggest technical thing of his entire life and said its influence is impossible to overstate. the man who built Microsoft and lived through every tech wave of the last 50 years. Bill Gates: "there will be a frenzy. some companies will burn billions on data centers whose electricity is too expensive, and won't earn it back before the next generation of chips arrives" everyone around him pushed him to stay quiet so the race wouldn't slow down, but he said it straight "this will hit the job market" bookmark it and watch him break it down ↓
