Has anybody thought about OpenAI being more or less owned by Microsoft?
Microsoft, the same company that:
- Operates Windows, that tries to strong-arm you to upgrade to Windows 11 in a regular basis with dark patterns and
- Forces you to log in into Microsoft every time you want to run any application they have.
- Example of the above: Took over Minecraft, and forced its players to log in with a Microsoft account, presumably the same players would use to write Word and Excel documents in Microsoft 365.
- Strong-arms its users whenever possible to use Edge.
- Operates Teams, the user-hostile chat application that doesn't let you paste code in the chat for your team-mates, that can't render a PDF at arbitrary size, but that will hide the "Download" button so that they can track you as you read the document in their "Teams" application.
Can you imagine Microsoft's (or any other megacorp's) spirit embedded in a powerful AI?
