    I hate AI as much as anyone, but this article is shitty fearmongering. Buried at the end it admits there’s actually no price increase, there’s just a new tier with optional features.

    A “classic” Office 365 subscription will be available at the old price if you really don’t want the AI — for now.

      Not really fear mongering, when Microsoft has proven that the “for now” is held up. Like the whole Recall fiasco. They canceled it “for now”, and now it’s published. Their “for now” is actually “for just right now, until heat subsides”. Microsoft can go suck on a tailpipe.

        Australian users are already reporting they can’t actually find the “classic” option at all.

        consider the raw, stupid energy of reporting me to myself for violating a civility rule that doesn’t exist and never will

            that’s absolutely the ploy — in almost every instance, civility rules are used to punish marginalized people while giving polite fascists a pass (and the ability to normalize the behavior of impolite fascists)
