    Let’s not forget to count all the people who use a MS office product at work, and are therefore opted into counting for copilot numbers, which almost _certainly_ counts towards Cha…

    This reads an awful lot like post-how justification of poor business practices. It’s got a bit of”uhhmm actually, poor management and high turnover is good actually” vibes, which i…
