    Microsoft reportedly backed the ‘neural network’ with a $455 million investment, leading to a valuation of $1.5 billion… but it turns out all that cash was going toward a workforce of over 700 Indian engineers, rather than an AI.

    I doubt it went to them, but also: how DARE they!!

    apparently they kept up the charade for 8 years, somehow?

      I have a solution. I’m going to build AI that takes payment directly to fund and build on itself so you don’t have to pay pesky engineers.
