Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella is going all-in on AI. Earlier this week, he announced that the company’s developer division (which makes developer tools and compilers) has been folded into a new unit …

      Lol. Wild!

      ”The company accused 10 anonymous defendants of violating the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, and federal racketeering laws"

      So… Their lawyers were bored? I admit, I don’t understand the legal value of brining the case against an anonymous person.

      “Microsoft is taking a firm stand against the misuse of its generative AI services and sending a clear message that the weaponization of its AI technology by online actors will not be tolerated.”

      Uh… Wow. But I suppose my own firm stances sometimes also involve meaningless gestures.

      Standard disclaimer: I’m not a lawyer. I’m just someone who has been exposed to too much marketing technobable bullshit. I’ll allow that maybe my bullshit-o-meter is being unfair?

      Anyway, interesting read. Thanks!
