Github gathers personal information, Bing uses it to influence an
election via search results manipulation. It's real easy if you have the
same owner of both services.

That's the problem with living after the future has already passed.
Even my enemies aren't what they used to be.

Ahhh. Some things don't change, though. Thanks for rescuing my postjudices.

(Nevertheless, one doesn't need a worldwide git repo service to train
an AI by examples of free software.
It would be a funny experiment to throw a few hundred code snippets of a
free software project into Visual Bleep and then to look how similar the
result is to the original.)


Have a nice day :)

Read on GPT3. Even if you throw away the marketing-foo (of which there
is copious abundance), it's... scary.

It doesn't help that Microsoft has bought "exclusive" use of it [1]
doesn't help (with my feelings on it, at least).

We're talking a few more than a few hundred here ;-)
