Overview
- Satya Nadella published the first post on his new “sn scratchpad,” calling for the industry to move beyond arguments over “slop vs sophistication.”
- He argues AI progress should focus on integrated systems rather than standalone models, with deliberate choices about scarce energy, compute, and talent.
- Coverage highlights Microsoft’s bet on Copilot and AI agents as everyday tools, including voice-driven creation and help with tasks.
- Reporters note a gap between Microsoft’s vision and current performance, saying many Copilot promises do not yet work in practice.
- Windows Central’s analysis, using Copilot, suggests the post was likely AI-assisted, and its reviewer criticized the writing as wooden and jargon-heavy while Nadella promises more notes through 2026.
