I'm at a loss for words.

In math and contracts, words only mean what you define them to mean, no more and no less.

Different in human discourse.

Is this news?

To put that in context, they essentially they have to be more profitable than the top 7 for any year of any company ever https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_corporate_profits_and_losses

People actually wrote this down.

How does one even compute this? Microsoft is integrating AI into everything. Can they figure out how much AI accounts for an X% increase in Office365 sales?

It's a weird way to measure AGI for sure.

But kind of in line with capitalism to say "we are not giving you personhood, or considering you sentient/intelligent until you are a billionaire".

Oh right.

“AGI” is a really weird way of abbreviating locking customers into a walled garden then using AI as an excuse to raise prices https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/microsoft-ai-assistant-copilot-365-suite-dfb293b3

At least they went for "profits" and not "valuation"
