Microsoft Chief Economist Michael Schwarz says AI "clearly" must be regulated. Why? "I am confident AI will be used by bad actors, and yes it will cause real damage." But he says lawmakers should wait until AI causes "real harm" before enacting rules. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

@BexelInitiative oh definitely macroeconomic pressure
Cloud spending grew 19% YoY to $63 billion in Q1 2023. That's a lot for a big market, but it's quite the slowdown from the 32% growth in Q1 2022. Amazon, Microsoft, and Google own 65% of the market. They'll do everything to keep it that way by charging less in the techcession.
