3 days ago: The Register MS Published a Ponzi Scheme-Boosting Fake Article This Morning. It Mentions "AI" 30 Times.

Last night/yesterday morning (front page 'story' right now):

How far will they go? How low can they stoop?

This is hardly the first time and the majority of these "SPONSORED" pieces aren't quite ads, they promote an actual scam, as we explained before, e.g. in:

• Follow the Money: The Register MS Gets Paid to Promote "Hey Hi" Ponzi Scheme/Hype, Some Fake 'Articles' Might Be Composed by LLMs Already
• 80% of the Sponsored (Fake) Articles in The Register MS Are Promotions of Ponzi Schemes (Unethical Money), the Rest is Banned Chinese Business
• The Register MS (Situation Publishing) is Participating in a Ponzi Scheme
• The "Hey Hi" Ponzi Scheme Promoted Again by The Register MS
• Today, The Register MS is Parroting Marketing Spam for Ponzi Scheme ("AI") in Exchange for Money
• The Register MS Has Just Been Paid to Promote the Ponzi Scheme Some More ("AI" Keyword Stuffing)
• The Register MS is Promoting Ponzi Scheme for Financial Fraud/Accounting Fraud Company, The Register MS Gets Paid to Do This
• The Register MS (Situation Publishing) is Paid to Spread Mindless Hype for the "Hey Hi" Ponzi Scheme and That's a Serious Problem
• The Register MS Gets Paid by Gartner to Promote a Ponzi Scheme for Gartner, Microsoft, and Others

Once upon a time it was a serious publisher. Months ago it was taken over by a Microsoft person. █
