I've seen a lot of people sharing similar sentiments just because it's Microsoft executives.

These executives came up through engineering. These are not MBA's. Russinovich famously founded Winternals (now Sysinternals), and got bought by Microsoft. Building tools for the OS that the OS vendor didn't think to:

Scott Hanselman is similarly prolific:

These are not faceless execs, if you follow the company. These are the people who advocate for the real and good stuff.

Wasn't the execs sentiment to replace the workforce as soon as possible with ai? But I get it, you get to get a face when you're an exec but no face when you're a jobless junior CS graduate.

It's ironic that Microsoft execs don't worry about AI replacingtheir jobs. If that doesn't paint a very clear picture of why most execs keep repeating this trope, I'm not sure what is.
