This so-called 'foundation' which is close to Microsoft (many such foundations -- including Gates' -- are pro-Westernisation and sometimes for-profit) dresses itself up as 'open source', but based on its new press release it's mostly about loans to poor populations. It's a shady area because the poor people need to pay back, so they become slaves of the banker or hedge fund in question. We gave examples of this practice before (and below we put a good video from Pilger).
The use of the term "open source" in press releases of the Grameen Foundation seems to be for marketing purposes. In everything we have seen in those press releases (so fat at least) there is no evidence of proper "Open Source" being involved. And speaking of fake open source, since we mentioned Jean Paoli's appearance a few hours ago, here is an expansion on that. Microsoft now promotes all sorts of notions like "Open Cloud", which is like saying that giving someone else one's data makes it transparent or more accessible. It is the very opposite, so watch out for the spin machine. ⬆
It should be noted that fake news about Microsoft OpenAI doubling workforce (mere words, not actions) can serve as a nice distraction from the death of Sora due to divestment
75+ KG of legal papers, 2 cases, 2 barristers (one hiding in the metadata) and maybe two law firms (also hiding in the metadata) against two modest people in Manchester seems disproportionate and vindicative
IBM basically laid off almost 1,000 people last week [...] At the moment about 75% of the 'articles' we see about IBM (in recent days) are some kind of slop
