heck, microsoft seems sketchy AF, i reported em to the department of justice today, here's a link to the evidence of microsoft's anticompetitive conduct https://i.postimg.cc/MGqPvPz5/cartel-microsoft-microsoft-ope... just seems really serious and makes me not want to have anything to do with microsoft microsoft openai, microsoft github, or nvidia ever again. the timing seems suspicious since i sent the email to DOJ today, but im a nobody so hey, what do i know?

tried a billion ways to remedy by contacting them directly before i sent that. you know it's a stressful workday when you're sweaty from making a google drawing!

Ironically, Mistral cofounders just took down their similar clause. Google has nothing like this. Anthropic and Inflection both do. I'm sick of it, but I feel morally obligated to keep speaking out about this. Satya could just go into the codebase and delete it, but he didnt, I asked him to, multiple times. A

WS also has such terms, really bad because they're in charge of Rust Language. Conflict of interest.

TL;DR: I meekly suggest we boycott these companies because they are heavily and explicitly anti-competitive and this goes for all their businesses (Microsoft OpenAI and Microsoft GitHub) also it all runs on NVIDIA chips which have similar terms.

Great job on Phi, but this is not for me!
