What the fuck are they paying for? A shitty ChatGPT frontend and crap hardware no one actually wants?

Who the fuck is approving that purchase over at HP? I knew they weren't particularly smart over there, but holy shit, that's straight up brain damage levels of decision.

Are there any patents in this deal? That’s the only thing that would make sense.
