Isn't that just like.. what Microsoft has always been? Browser wars, Tay, bad behavior around open source software.. This is how they roll. They're being their best selves.

The difference

(Previously) Microsoft EVP: "Dumb decision" -> org executes

(Now) Microsoft PM: "Dumb decision related to AI" -> team immediately executes

So they've pushed bad decision making down the hierarchy?

Tay turned out poorly, but it's a strange inclusion. It was simply a research project that failed.
