@Jetssuckass1 @TopTierPucks @mathewjdp @zach_20007 @KevinMcCurdy Then whole world is wrong about him then.

@dchana @TopTierPucks @mathewjdp @zach_20007 @KevinMcCurdy Bouch creates on his own too. Your heads been up your ass the last two plus seasons of you haven't seen that. Sounds like a you issue.

@Jetssuckass1 @TopTierPucks @mathewjdp @zach_20007 @KevinMcCurdy Sure he gets a bunch of points like that, just like Bouch. Difference is he can create on his own more than Bouch can.
Don't ask me, ask why team Canada put an A on his jersey

@dchana @TopTierPucks @mathewjdp @zach_20007 @KevinMcCurdy That's ridiculous. Makar doesn't get the points he gets without playing with MacK, Landy (Rantanen when he was there). Dumb af take

@TopTierPucks @hockeypronouns @mathewjdp @zach_20007 @KevinMcCurdy Is this metric applied to players on the PP?
English

@hockeypronouns @mathewjdp @zach_20007 @KevinMcCurdy EVD WAR measures a player's impact on preventing quality shots and scoring chances while on the ice 5v5. It quantifies how many wins a player adds to their team by suppressing opponent scoring chances compared to a "replacement-level" player. xGA has a lot to do with it

🦔 Walmart scrapped OpenAI's Instant Checkout after customers kept getting wrong items in their carts and conversion rates came in well below Walmart's own channels. Now they're embedding their in-house Sparky chatbot into ChatGPT and Gemini instead.
When you ask ChatGPT for paper towels, Sparky handles the search and processes the order. OpenAI gets a referral fee. Walmart owns the customer relationship. The new setup converts at 70% of Walmart.com's direct rate. Target reportedly turned down a similar OpenAI deal last year. Amazon hasn't touched third-party AI integration with Alexa.
My Take
Five months ago LinkedIn was calling this a game-changer for how people shop. Turns out when an LLM hallucinates the wrong items into your cart, people stop using it. Search bars and add-to-cart buttons aren't hard. A prompt adds steps and introduces error. Retailers have the inventory, the logistics, the customer relationships. OpenAI has a chat interface. Walmart figured out they can rent distribution without giving up the business and I'd expect other retailers to follow the same playbook. Own the agent, plug it into whatever platform has users, keep the transaction.
OpenAI wanted to become the commerce layer where transactions happen, but it turns out the companies with actual products to sell have leverage and the company with the language model doesn't.

@Asnow119 @FAN590 @Bob_Stauffer @Mattymar89 @FutaMichael Yeah I haven't seen those highlights in a while

@dchana @FAN590 @Bob_Stauffer @Mattymar89 @FutaMichael It has improved. Weve watched him rush back a a lot more often. At least in my incredibly bias opinion.

Microsoft has announced a massive restructuring of its AI leadership, officially splitting its focus between commercial product development and foundational model research.
Mustafa Suleyman (CEO of Microsoft AI and DeepMind co-founder) is stepping away from the day-to-day product management of Copilot. Instead, he will focus exclusively on leading Microsoft's "superintelligence" mission to build state-of-the-art, frontier AI models in-house.
Former Snap executive Jacob Andreou has been promoted to Executive Vice President of Copilot to lead this consolidated effort, reporting directly to CEO Satya Nadella.

English

Nadella paid $650 million to acquihire Mustafa Suleyman and 70 Inflection employees in March 2024. The job: make Copilot the AI product that justifies Microsoft’s infrastructure bet. Two years later, Suleyman no longer runs Copilot.
The corporate framing is generous. “Freed up to focus on superintelligence.” The numbers tell a different story.
Microsoft 365 has 450 million paid commercial seats. After two years on the market, during the largest AI hype cycle in history, Copilot converted 15 million of them. That’s 3.3%. At $30/user/month, those seats generate roughly $5.4 billion annually. Microsoft spent $37.5 billion on AI infrastructure in a single quarter.
The competitive data is worse. Recon Analytics surveyed 150,000+ enterprise users in January 2026. Copilot’s paid subscriber share dropped from 18.8% to 11.5% in six months. Gemini passed it in November. The most damning finding: 70% of users initially preferred Copilot because it was already embedded in their Office apps. After trying ChatGPT and Gemini, 8% kept choosing it.
That 70-to-8 drop is the number that explains this entire reorg. Microsoft has the greatest distribution advantage in enterprise software history, and 90% of users leave after trying the competition.
So Nadella hands Copilot to Jacob Andreou, a former Snap executive. You bring in an eight-year consumer growth operator when the problem is adoption, not science. And Suleyman gets “superintelligence”: no shipped product, no revenue target, no quarterly earnings call where an analyst asks about the 3.3%.
The $650 million acquihire just became the most expensive research fellowship in tech history.

@captvader007 @EdmOilerlytics Nobody won a cup yet in the last 10 years. Stop fighting for second place

@EdmOilerlytics And you lost your 1st round to San Jose. And you might not even make the playoffs. And Dry is out for the rest of the season. And you traded for Jarry. Thumbs up 👍

Rename your company for a product, then abandon the product.
Greatest pivot in tech history or the most expensive mistake ever made.
