@utak.bsky.social antoi valtiovarainministeriölle kirjallisen lausunnon yhteisöveron alentamisesta 20 %:sta 18 %:in vuonna 2027. UTAK ei kannata yhteisöveron alentamista vaan ehdottaa, että yhteisövero korotetaan 22 %:in (eli Norjan, Viron ja Tanskan tasolle). Perustelut ketjussa 👇 1/

Microsoft Tells Engineers ‘Tokenmaxxing Is Not What We Are Optimizing For’
Microsoft is introducing budget limits for AI use but says it still wants to be an ‘AI-first’ company.

I got booked to do a Copilot Studio training session after my summer vacation. I deliberately did not do any UI slides back in June. Today, on August 4th, both the UI & licensing model changed.🙄 Relatable Reddit comment: www.reddit.com/r/copilotstu...
Jukka Niiranen@jukkan.bsky.social · 2d agoClassic Microsoft. You have two different agent orchestrators for Copilot agents. You solve the problem by introducing a third one, and a brand new licensing model. Thoughts on GA of new Copilot Studio agents with GitHub Copilot harness and credit-based billing: www.linkedin.com/posts/jukkan...
The peaks just get lower for Microsoft AI product announcements. As if people are getting tired of the hype and don't even bother Googling the new product names. Agent 365. Copilot Cowork. Microsoft Scout. Next contender: Copilot "Super App"?

You've gotta spend money to make money. Yet the AI capex spend of Microsoft has grown far more than Azure revenue it gets from OpenAI et al. My take on the latest MSFT quarterly earnings report and what we can read from between the lines (gift link): www.perspectives.plus/p/microsoft-...
Microsoft knows how to make money
But is it smart in allocating that money to AI services and capex? Here's my take on the FY26 Q4 financial results from MSFT.

But guys... you don't have to give up your addiction to rage. Just turn it towards things that actually deserve it: like billionaires, techno-fascists, and data centers! Then we can all be angry together!
Leak Dataverse data like it's 2021. ExfilSquad seems to have grabbed data via misconfigured Power Pages portals from 15 organizations - including Microsoft's partner portal. It may not be legacy OData feeds this time, Web API is equally capable for security blunders: appomni.com/ao-labs/micr...
Microsoft's FY26 Q4 results show that the Microsoft Cloud continues to be very profitable. In other news, #Microsoft365 #Copilot has 30 million paid seats. Sounds good, and progress is being made, but it's still less than 7% of the M365 installed base office365itpros.com/2026/07/30/f...
FY26 Q4 Microsoft Results Sees Azure Top $100 Billion
On July 29, Microsoft released their FY26 Q4 results. We learned that Microsoft 365 Copilot has 30 million paid seats, but that's still less than 7% of M365.

With Microsoft's "Project Perception", I think that Security Copilot as we knew it is, well, on hiatus. Obviously the two share plumbing, since you pay for perception via SCUs anyway. But it seems like the costly, complex, and cumbersome approach initially proposed for Security Copilot is dead.

Do you still recall Windows Recall? I sure didn't, given how Microsoft has a new trainwreck AI feature stealing all the attention every month. Luckily Kevin still tracks it.👇
Kevin Beaumont@doublepulsar.com · last wk.It's supposed to be the primary use case for Copilot+ PCs and, uhm, it's like Enron I guess.. somebody said an idea, Satya's like 'I'm in', weeks later 'it's finished'.. it ain't. Agent 365 also feels vibe coded. Feels like era of booking presumed profits on ideas rather than execution.
Hugging Face just published a highly detailed technical account of OpenAI's accidental cyberattack on their systems - it's wild how sophisticated this was: huggingface.co/blog/agent-i... Wrote up some of my own notes here: simonwillison.net/2026/Jul/28/...

America bans Chinese phones, cars, robots and AI for the same reason. And it’s not security. Parallels to Russia banning all Western tech back in the Sixties are grim.
“When people are empowered, they naturally check and balance each other and the power of larger institutions” is a heck of a thing to say when your company has had a gag order on a former global policy director after she wrote a book
Russell Brandom@russellbrandom.bsky.social · last wk.A telling passage from Zuck's WSJ op-ed: "Imagine everyone has a superintelligent lawyer. Justice would be carried out much more fairly and efficiently than it is today." I'm really not sure this is true!
