    They also use GitHub to hover up code and resell it as AI… and it’s only a question of time before they do a rugpull.

    Make no mistake, they bought both for access to the data and use it daily to upend other competitors.

      Microsoft’s not the only company doing this. Pretty much all code-focused AI models are based on Github data.

      This may have been common in the 90s, but I’m not sure it’s still relevant. Do you have any examples of Microsoft doing this in the past 10 years?
