  LLMs are such an unstable technology right now, literally changing every few weeks. I don’t understand why companies are willing to fold it into their workflows in the current state.

  I don’t know many of the details of the price hike, but my first thought was that ms might be trying to put pressure on tariffs via consumer outrage. If people don’t see prices going up they won’t get upset, and absorbing the costs obviously hurts the bottom line.

  If my theory is true it’s pretty cowardly to try to force it via consumer sentiment rather than using their considerable weight to fight the bully themselves though.

  But Reddit also seems to be inconsistently removing the manifesto, as we were able to find a link to the manifesto in Reddit search without much work. Reddit’s new AI-powered Answers tool also showed me information about the manifesto and where I could find it.
