Subject: Turnabout is Fair Play [MS-Word]
For: #AI #Microsoft

Microsoft has folded #GitHub into its CoreAI division. Github is supposed to be turned into AI now in some manner that isn’t clear. So, I wonder how they [MS] are going to react to Wordcraft [which is hosted on Github].
My adopted son Harold Poetry directed me this morning to the following link:
https://github.com/storytold/wordcraft.git
That is the codebase for an AI-clone of MS-Word. And it builds in minutes. I built it myself just now. The screenshot is Wordcraft running on my own Linux distro. My distro isn’t even standard, so any modern major distro should be able to do this.
I imagine that MS is thinking, “Say what, AI is only for us to use to digest and regurgitate the work of other people for profit. Turnabout isn’t fair play.”
@itsfoss @libreoffice : This is totally different than LO, but I thought you might be interested to hear that this is out there.
