       🚨 AI is a billion dollar bet. And Big Tech wants YOU to pay for it. Now Microsoft got sued for tricking users to pay 45% more for its AI. 🚨👉🏼  Australia’s competition regulator says Microsoft misled around 2.7 million users into paying more for Microsoft 365 when offering its AI Copilot.Find out more: https://tuta.com/blog/microsoft-price-hike-because-of-ai#Microsoft #AI #Microsoft356 #Australia

       @Tutanota I have always struggled to understand that so many people who need a word processor no more sophisticated than WordPad, never use spreadsheets and know where to buy and how to use USB thumb drives to save and back up their files pay anything for Microsoft's online Office and storage services.Especially when recent outages at both Amazon and Azure show just how fragile cloud based systems are.

       @Tutanota  I don't understand people who pay for 365. I buy and download the full office bundle for $50 and I get updates for 3-4 years. I have it on both my windows laptop and macbook. On linux I use OpenOffice.

       @Tutanota Trillion dollar bet, not billion.

       @Tutanota It's not a bet.The US-style AI scam as FAANG is doing it, is a securities style fraud, to make their companies look like “growth stocks”, thus getting a pass on P/E criteria that apply to “mature stocks”. Luckily for them #Trump has dismantled regulations in the US.https://www.wheresyoured.at/big-tech-2tr/And over-valuated stock is basically a licence to print money.https://ink.library.smu.edu.sg/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=4156&context=lkcsb_researchThe companies can issue overvalued stock in themselves to pay for acquisitions, as compensation etc.

       @TutanotaTuta Drive is on the horizon?I can't wait to see it!Your "friends" at Proton have Proton Drive, however...... I can't identify glitched files not uploaded via Windows, and...... it randomly fails to upload files from Android, and...... there's no Linux option.Oh, please let Tuta Drive have a Linux option...

       @Tutanota As I read elsewhere, what really happened is that they STARTED charging for Co-Pilot, when they hadn't before. Materially, that's different from raising the price.Even if that wasn't the case, though, what's illegal about raising the price, and how is doing that -- and notifying people in advance -- some kind of trickery? Isn't raising prices common and usually legal?Don't get me wrong, all of this is shitty. But what's illegal about it?

       @Tutanota hah, classic. That is why I try to pay for at least one year instead of a month.

       @Tutanota If only you were right. In truth, it's already a hundreds of billions dollar bet, not counting the requisite energy generation infrastructure...

       @TimePencil It's still in development and it will be available on Linux like Tuta Mail. 😉

       @Tutanota I think you meant to say "trillion".
