Am I crazy, or was this press release fully rewritten in the past 10 minutes? The current version is around half the length of the old one, which did not frame it as a "simplification" "grounded in flexibility" but as a deeper partnership. It also had word salad about AGI, and said Azure retained exclusivity for API products but not other products, which the new statement seems to contradict.

What was I looking at?

I noticed the exact same thing. I read the original, went back to read it again and it’s completely changed.

If anyone has the original release still up and can post it somewhere that would be grand.

It is rewritten on every refresh depending on the readers mood, personality, etc.. so they're most receptive to it.

Obviously not, but we might not be far off from that being a reality.

I don’t know. I couldn’t get past the first paragraph because it seemed like complete slop.

They forgot the "hey ChatGPT, rewrite this to have better impact on the company stock" before submitting it
