The Sheer Irony of Microsoft Proxy Accusing Others of 'Stealing'
Copyleft relies on strong copyrights, but Microsoft does not champion copyrights, it violates copyrights
WE HAVE already seen about a dozen articles blasting Microsoft (or Scam Altman, whom Microsoft had hired just months ago, even formally before he "came back" to 'open'AI) for making accusations against DeepSick [sic] (Seek) after 'open'AI shamelessly acquired a lot of data without authorisation and without any compensation to authors. As we've just mentioned, SPAMnil parroted Microsoft's accusations and allegations without challenge. We don't want to link to it; maybe he just copy-pasted some press releases, i.e. the usual from him.
DeepSick isn't a win for "Open Source". It's not even Open Source; like Facebook's ("Meta") PR stunts, we're talking about openwashing here. "Open Source" is now meaningless and OSI is controlled by Microsoft.
Wherever DeepSick's data came from, Microsoft (or its proxy) is in no position to issue criticism. It's a distraction from its own financial failure, which Microsoft tries to hide using fake numbers and bailouts using money that does not even exist.
Meanwhile the real news is that Microsoft lays off a lot of people without even meeting basic obligations and GitHub lacks a business model except attacking copyleft, i.e. breaking the law. Microsoft violates copyright law and its GPL violations go about 1.5 decades back (it got caught red-headed, repeatedly). █
