ES: Jaron Lanier es un Troll de Microsoft y Fuente de FUD Contra Todo lo LIBRE (LIBERTAD) Software

Jaron Lanier



(ODF | PDF | English/original)

Resumen: Precaución es necesaria cuando se trata de Jaron Lanier, quien mientras es pagado por Microsoft publica libros en los que basurea todo lo que compite con la escasez artificial de Microsoft

EL llamado a sí mismo "padre" de la realidad virtual podría utilizar algo de la inteligencia artificial. Él es un refuerzo de la escasez artificial y defensor de un sentido artificial de la realidad donde el compartir es malicioso y la propiedad es buena. Sus vanos escritos han sido objeto de una gran cantidad de fuego como lo señalamos aquí antes [1[http://techrights.org/2010/06/24/canadian-politician-sells-out/], 2[http://techrights.org/2010/07/07/anti-crowdsourcing/]]. Lo que no sabíamos entonces, sin embargo, fue que el patrón de Lanier y Chris Aklstrom JeffM escribió[http://groups.google.com/group/comp.os.linux.advocacy/browse_frm/thread/ae896d3adea70865/fe5981b9b00d6c57] acerca de una conexión a Microsoft. "Al mirar a él (un hombre blanco con rastas) se podría pensar que era un iconoclasta completo. Él es, sin embargo, mucho que ver con el anticuado pago por los unos y los ceros binarios de código cerrado, sólo meme", señala.



"Homero", añade: "Él es un Microsoft" Arquitecto Socio", después de todo. €¿Qué pasa con Microsoft y siniestros títulos de trabajo/departamentos? "Arquitecto Socio", "Gestión de la Percepción", "Pistola Contratada" (juegos de dept.), "Evangelista de tecnología", "Vendedor Guerrilla", hasta la saciedad.

"€¿Y ahora qué? "Técnico Eugenista" y "El Investigador de Armas Biológicas".

"Un portavoz de Microsoft confirmó hoy que Jaron Lanier sigue en libertad, y debe ser abordado con cautela ... y donuts."
      --Homer
Textualmente: "Fue becario en Misión Especial para Microsoft desde 2006 a 2009, y Arquitecto Socio de Microsoft Research a partir de 2009 hacia adelante"

Bueno, eso debería explicar muchas del trolling contra el Software Libre, siempre sin toda divulgación, excepto tal vez aquí[http://www.jaronlanier.com/general.html]. "Así que ahí lo tienen", concluye: "Homero", "[e]l estaba "en grande" con Microsoft. Sí, era en realidad. Pero no en el momento en que escribió esa página, que al parecer fue generado por un juguete WYSIWYG llamado "Mozilla/4.77C-CCK-MCD {C-UDP; EBM-APPLE} (Macintosh; U; PPC) [Netscape]", que se traduce en una versión prehistórica de Netscape Composer se ejecuta en un Mac igualmente prehistórica.

"Un portavoz de Microsoft confirmó hoy que Jaron Lanier sigue en libertad, y debe ser abordada con cautela ... y donuts."

Así que Jaron no es un gadget sino una herramienta. Y esta conexión con Microsoft ayuda a explicar por qué ha tenido una rabia en el camino contra el Software Libre y todo lo LIBRE por los años últimos 5 o menos. La próxima vez Lanier ataque al Software Libre y a la libertad (que él seguro lo hará), asegúrese de señalar de donde su ingreso proviene.
