Microsoft adds Copilot to Microsoft 365 in Australia and Southeast Asia and raises 365's price, a sign of how it aims to turn a profit from its AI investments

and Making Them Pay Kevin McLaughlin / The Information : Microsoft Bundles Key AI Product With Consumer Apps Suite Jai Hamid / Cryptopolitan : Is Microsoft harassing users with AI assistant Copilot? Bluesky: Noah / @xenago : Yup, that's always been the plan.  Force the expensive autocomplete on users with bundles using their monopoly, and then jack up the price.  Google will do the same with their own ‘Gemini’ spam generator to GSuite - sorry, Workspace - customers too. Mastodon: Ed Bilodeau / @edbilodeau@mastodon.social : Microsoft is removing copilot #AI as an M365 option in some markets — they're adding it to base and increasing the cost/seat.  I expect this will come to Canada EDU licences soon  —  https://www.wsj.com/... X: Ben Fritz / @benfritz : Microsoft's new approach to making more money from its AI assistant Copilot: Give it to people who just wanted Word and Excel. And make them pay more. @cityofthetown with the story: https://www.wsj.com/...
