Satya hard-selling AI to Larry Fink and everyone at #wef 'If AI only benefits tech firms then it’s a bubble.' Microsoft $80bn capex this year, half of that outside the US (looking for cheap energy).

His nervous timbre tells me that he recognises that time is running out for AI adoption. So unlike Zuck he is not completely disconnected from reality. Investors and the general public at large will baulk at burning electrons if there is no tangible benefit outside tech.

With a straight face. *piggie snort laughs*
