80% of the Sponsored (Fake) Articles in The Register MS Are Promotions of Ponzi Schemes (Unethical Money), the Rest is Banned Chinese Business

A data architecture for the age of AI

Today, like in most days, based on a daily check for weeks already, the sponsored (fake, paid-for) articles in the front page of The Register MS are promotions of "hey hi" (AI) nonsense, with the exception of this piece.

Is that an ethical way to make money? No.

The same is true for their paid webcasts. It's almost always some "hey hi" charade.

This is going to crash the market and wipe off many people's savings. What will The Register MS then tell its readers? That is was OK because it got paid to participate? Worse yet, this money does not support journalism because slop attacks Web sites (akin to DDoS) and plagiarises work, including work of The Register MS.
