Microsoft Corporation (MSFT) Share Price

OpenAI is effectively a revenue laundromat for Microsoft and the company does not even hide it in its own projections as you can see in the chart below considering “Microsoft Revenue Shares”, “Compute To Train Models”, “Compute To Run Models”, “Research and Computing Amortization” and “Hosting” are all items related to OpenAI relationship with Microsoft.

Of course, Microsoft isn’t alone in such a fraudulent scheme, which, to be clear, has already been replicated with many other smaller startups. NVIDIA has been a partner in it since the very beginning, hence it should not surprise everyone that they participated in this investment round. NVIDIA has only one goal: keep booking orders for its GPUs to keep its stock valuation inflated to a level that is only justified by the fact that every single person in the world will be eating GPUs for breakfast, lunch, and dinner in the future. However, NVIDIA has a problem with one of the companies that has been instrumental in boosting its incredible (albeit fake) growth: SMCI – THE NUCLEAR NOTHING BURGER THAT CAN EXPOSE NVIDIA SHENANIGANS. That the two companies have been cooperating in the same scheme is obvious to anyone paying attention (“HYPERSCALERS” OR “HYPERCHEATERS”? – ADDING HINDENBURG PIECE TO THE BIG PONZI PUZZLE WE HAVE BEEN PUTTING TOGETHER TILL NOW WHILE WAITING FOR NVIDIA EARNINGS), but luckily for them, no one but a few really do nowadays.

SoftBank is another company that participated in OpenAI’s latest fundraise since it belongs to the category of those in desperate need for the bubble not to pop:

IS SOFTBANK TRYING TO SQUEEZE ARM INTO MAJOR INDEXES TO FORCE PASSIVE INVESTING BIDS AND LIQUIDATE THE STOCK WITHOUT CRASHING IT?
DOES SOFTBANK NEED THE WEEKEND TO NEGOTIATE ITS BAILOUT?
IF ARCHEGOS BUSTED CREDIT SUISSE, WHICH BANK WILL A SOFTBANK IMPLOSION SINK?
Is ARM The Canary In The $NVDA Coal Mine?
The DOJ is already investigating on many fronts, from Microsoft and Nvidia’s questionable buying spree of startup companies to SMCI’s fraudulent accounting. However, all the companies I mentioned are doing such an incredible job combining timely PR, stock buybacks, and extremely sophisticated accounting to keep the fraud from being exposed to the general public that keeps loving them and buying their shares. Mark my words, all this is going to end very badly, ultimately popping the semiconductor bubble and leaving many clueless investors in ETFs, Passive Funds, and Pension Funds significantly damaged (IT HAS NEVER BEEN A BUBBLE IN AI, BUT A PONZI SCHEME IN SEMICONDUCTOR STOCKS SINCE THE VERY BEGINNING). However, similar to the Dot Com bubble of the early 2000s, all this oversupply of computing power is ultimately going to significantly lower the costs for all those startups that will leverage AI to build sound business products and operations, and among these, the future mega-caps will emerge like Google, Facebook, or Amazon did in the aftermath of the internet bubble more than 20 years ago.

MICROSOFT REVENUES “ROUND TRIPPING” PONZI SCHEME IS NOW TOO BIG TO HIDE – THE TRUTH FROM THE CASH FLOWS ⚠️

https://justdario.com/2024/07/microsoft-revenues-round-tripping-ponzi-scheme-is-now-too-big-to-hide-the-truth-from-the-cash-flows/

$MSFT received a rare Wall Street downgrade over concerns the tech giant's AI lead is diminishing and that it has become too reliant on $NVDA for its AI infrastructure.

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/microsoft-stock-receives-rare-downgrade-as-analyst-says-its-beholden-to-nvidia-182459634.html?ncid=twitter_yfsocialtw_l1gbd0noiom

What's actually inside a $100 billion AI data center?

Microsoft-Owned LinkedIn Using People's Data To Train Artificial Intelligence Models


Authored by Katabella Roberts via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),

Professional networking platform LinkedIn has confirmed that it automatically uses personal user data to train artificial intelligence (AI) models without first informing its members.


The LinkedIn app displayed on a phone in London on Jan. 11, 2021. Edward Smith/Getty Images
The California-headquartered company said in a Sept. 18 blog post that it has updated the privacy policy element of its terms of service to include language clarifying how it uses the information shared with it “to develop the products and services of LinkedIn and its affiliates, including by training AI models used for content generation (‘generative AI’) and through security and safety measures.”

The platform said that there is an opt-out setting for members when it comes to using their data for generative AI training.

LinkedIn is owned by Microsoft, which has invested heavily in OpenAI, the developer behind ChatGPT. According to the FAQ section of the platform’s website, the AI models used to power generative AI features may be trained by LinkedIn or another provider, such as Microsoft’s Azure OpenAI service.

The networking site said it uses generative AI for features such as its writing assistant and for suggesting posts or messages.

Personal data such as user posts, usage information, inputs and resulting outputs, language preferences, and any feedback they may provide is among the data processed and used to train AI, LinkedIn said.

When LinkedIn trains generative AI models, it seeks to “minimize personal data in the data sets” used to train them, including by using privacy-enhancing technologies that redact or remove personal data from the training dataset, the company said.

LinkedIn said the updates to its terms of service will go into effect on Nov. 20.

LinkedIn added that it does not currently train content-generating AI models on data from members located in the European Union, European Economic Area, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.

“If you live in these regions, we and our affiliates will not use your personal data or content on LinkedIn to train or fine-tune generative AI models for content creation without further notice,” the company said.

Opting Out
LinkedIn users in other locations who wish to opt out of allowing the platform to use their data for AI training can visit the “data for generative AI improvement” member setting and set it to “off.”

According to LinkedIn, opting out means that the platform and its affiliates “won’t use your personal data or content on LinkedIn to train models going forward, but does not affect training that has already taken place.”

Meanwhile, Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, announced earlier this month that it will resume training AI models using public content shared by adults on Facebook and Instagram in the UK over the coming months.

That announcement was made after the company paused training to address “regulatory feedback.”

Meta said it will use public information including posts, photos, captions, and comments from accounts of users over the age of 18 to train and improve its generative AI models. It said the content will not include private messages.

Meta said that users in the UK will soon receive in-app notifications regarding AI training, along with information on how they can access a form to object to their data being used to train generative AI models.

Privacy rights groups have criticized social media platforms for processing users’ data without their consent and have urged the Information Commissioner’s Office, the UK’s data protection watchdog, to take action.

In a statement, Mariano delli Santi, the legal and policy officer at the UK-based Open Rights Group, said LinkedIn is the latest social media company found to be processing user data without first asking for consent.

“The opt-out model proves once again to be wholly inadequate to protect our rights: the public cannot be expected to monitor and chase every single online company that decides to use our data to train AI,” he said.

The Epoch Times contacted a LinkedIn spokesperson for further comment but didn’t receive a reply by publication time.

Microsoft to surpass Apple market hopefully today! We will see. Onward and upward to new ATHs IMO

Hers the start of the rise back to ATH

Share buyback should get us to that all-time high of 460 again. That and the dividend increase.
Thank you, Microsoft!

Going back to $460’s soon I’m sure and higher

Let’s go Msft, you are falling behind my wmt and cost.

Buying opportunity for some big board flippers. Buying 15 shares, hold for 2 or 3 months for a very easy 4 o 5 percent gain. Better than CD's and bonds.

Microsoft's downbeat Azure growth sparks tech sell-off as AI payoff takes longer
July 30 (Reuters) - Microsoft's weaker-than-expected revenue growth in its Azure cloud business dragged its shares down 5% in after-hours trading on Tuesday and rocked other big tech stocks, in another sign the payoff in hefty AI investments may take longer.

Shares of Amazon.com fell 2.3%, and those of Nvidia pared losses to trade flat after falling 10%.

Quite a big drop
