msft had a massive edge. it had exclusive access to models + had web search before anyone.

they flopped this royally, just like windows mobile. they created a shitty ux by shoving it inside the bing app, then they decided to charge for it instead of capturing all enterprise value.

lastly, the product has stalled and missed on their biggest opportunity which is tapping into the data. you can think it's because of how complex it must be, but then openai and everybody else did it.

it's truly a lesson in product mismanagement, once again, from microsoft

It was bound to happen. Corporations always commit suicide once they're successful and it almost always looks the same. It's why I don't invest time in non-free software.

Netflix and NVIDIA come as counter-example. We're looking at 20-30 years of continuous self-disruption and innovation here.
