" GitHub’s strength has always been its role as a facilitator of decentralized, community-driven software creation. Its next chapter will test whether that ethos can survive inside the engine room of one of the world’s largest AI factories."
Microsoft + GitHub = Microsoft.

@dangillmor We should really call out the error in proclaiming "GitHub's neutrality is now over"; GitHub's neutrality (whatever that means) was over as soon as Microsoft bought it. It was even more obviously over when Microsoft declared they were scraping all current and past data for Copilot AI training, and people showed Copilot was ignoring attribution requirements in the licenses associated with the stolen software.
