Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

Microsoft's AI leader claimed that copyright on the internet can be ignored: https://www.windowscentral.com/software-apps/ever-put-content-on-the-web-microsoft-says-that-its-okay-for-them-to-steal-it-because-its-freeware
Watch the entire interview if you're bored because he is in deep. Microsoft probably just hired the most AI-enthused person they could find.
I think even wilder is that he thinks content which has explicitly been labeled "do not scrape except for search engine indexing" is a "gray area" with regards to scraping for AI. Like, that's exactly what it says not to do!
Never thought I'd see Microsoft suggest downloading a car, but I should have seen it coming.
He isn't totally wrong re the unspoken rule, but he forgets the second unspoken rule, that the first rule only applies to human being doing entertainment not corporations trying to make money.
Ew... stay away from my content, you creep!
see it was wrong when those dirty pirate hippies tried to do it but it's totally fine when microsoft does it because microsoft can't be wrong, see? easy
