Whose agenda? Who's there?
Who's paying?
Summary: The liars and shills working on behalf of Microsoft, salaried by Microsoft through the OSI, carry on controlling perceptions about "AI" while Microsoft uses it as a cover for mass plagiarism. Today's OSI totally lacks credibility and its Board is infiltrated by a Microsoft employee [1, 2] who is a close friend of Matthew J Garrett. It takes bribes from Microsoft to lobby for Microsoft, helping Microsoft against class action lawsuits for GPL violations, i.e. the very opposite of the OSI's mission. Mary Hardy (CELA) from Microsoft is in there, as usual. Their latest "debate" -- like previous ones -- is manned by Microsoft and sponsored by Microsoft.
As noted a few days ago, several times in fact, many people now recognise the importance of the FSF's mission, even if most people don't know what the FSF is
At times it seems like what we deal with are many weak patents (on algorithms), valuations or speculations based on hype ("hey hi"), and stocks held by Microsoft and its own staff
