Yes, they did it. And this is not from Kanamit Research Labs, nor the Twilight Zone.
Per CNBC.
https://www.cnbc.com/2025/11/06/microsoft-forms-superintelligence-team-under-ai-head-mustafa-suleyman-.html
Microsoft on Thursday said its forming a team that will be tasked with performing advanced artificial intelligence research.
Mustafa Suleyman, CEO of the Microsoft AI group that includes Bing and the Copilot assistant, announced the formation of the MAI Superintelligence Team, and said in a blog post that hell be leading it.
We are doing this to solve real concrete problems and do it in such a way that it remains grounded and controllable, Suleyman wrote. We are not building an ill-defined and ethereal superintelligence; we are building a practical technology explicitly designed only to serve humanity.

Then make a "cookbook" of A1 applications.
A1 has amazing uses.

My brother and I freaked out so bad my mother wouldn't let us watch TZ for a while.
We had to promise to stay calm no matter what the show was like.
