It was strange seeing how many people with genuine intentions of advancing AI for good were blindly threatening to join MSFT, a company with much less genuine reputation. I think OpenAI's board is even more controversial than ever now.

- vintagedave 3y agoI found this article, 'VSCode is Designed to Fracture'[0], insightful for its look at the current Microsoft. Its thesis is that VSCode is meant to leverage open source and popularity to increase closed source vendor lock-in to Microsoft. It cites recent examples of VSCode extensions being closed source, so that while VSCode seems open, the critical portions are not. It's worth reading the full article. 0: https://ghuntley.com/fracture/ https://ghuntley.com/fracture/
