That is not at all what he said. He said that creating some arbitrary benchmark on the level or quality of the AI, (e.g.: as it's as smarter than a 5th grader or as intelligent as an adult) is meaningless. That the real measure is if there is value created and out out into the real world. He also mentions that global growth is up by 10%. He doesn't provide data that correlates the grow with the use of AI and I doubt that such data exists yet. Let's not just twist what he said to be "Microsoft CEO says AI provides no value" when that is not what he said.
I think that's pretty clear to people who get past the clickbait. Oddly enough though, if you read through what he actually said, the takeaway is basically a tacit admission, interpreted as him trying to establish a level-set on expectations from AI without directly admitting the strategy of massively investing in LLM's is going bust and delivering no measurable value, so he can deflect with "BUT HEY CHECK OUT QUANTUM".

can't wait to have to explain the difference between asymmetric-key and symmetric-key cryptography to my friends!
Forgive my ignorance. Is there no known quantum-safe symmetric-key encryption algorithm?
i'm not an expert by any means, but from what i understand, most symmetric key and hashing cryptography will probably be fine, but asymmetric-key cryptography will be where the problems are. lots of stuff uses asymmetric-key cryptography, like https for example.
Oh that's not good. i thought TLS was quantum safe already

Joseph Weizenbaum: "No shit? For realsies?"
Makes sense that the company that just announced their qbit advancement would be disparaging the only "advanced" thing other companies have shown in the last 5 years.
He probably saw that softbank and masayoshi son were heavily investing in it and figured it was dead.
