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)
MUCH of the hype about 'Open' AI was paid for. It was fake.
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:

If someone (or someones) calls you paranoid for taking about "beacon"-like functionality, there will be no lack of authoritative citations (e.g. Web links) they can be provided to prove them wrong
There's no "anti-AI" (it's not even AI), there's opposition to fraud, to plagiarism, and to companies that profit more when there's global warning (caused in part by their business activities)
At least some people squeezed out some "free press" out of this charade [...] That the media kept boosting parodies as the alternative/s to the bigot is a topic we wrote about a great deal over the past 3 weeks
