Summary: This morning's talk by William N. Braswell explains that Microsoft basically doomed 'Open' AI and its userbase; it's meanwhile argued that it'll go out of business quite soon (there's simply no viable business model)

Last night we took note of the rapid decline of 'Open' AI (yes, it is measurable) and the following talk, which was delivered live about 8 hours ago, has a portion on how "evil empire" Microsoft screwed people over. They also affected him by deprecating the API, citing financial reasons. The summary of the talk is here and we suggest watching 20:50 to 31:50 of today's clip, hard-linked as follows:
Hours ago the media said that due to lackluster interest the entire company might collapse within months (it publicly admitted the bills were too high).

If the company goes out of business, taking into account that it just works for Microsoft now, Mr. Braswell will be pleased. In his talk, pay careful attention to what they did and how. Typical Microsoft. He learned the hard way never to use their stuff and ended up building his own. ⬆
So the real extent of layoffs is greater than what's publicly stated (there are silent layoffs) [...] Whatever IBM says about the scope, scale, or magnitude of the "RAs", it doesn't tell the full story
This is a real problem and most certainly a big problem because when people try to find real information about security and GNU/Linux they instead read "word salads" made by bots
