Lmao. Zig quits GitHub, says Microsoft's AI obsession has ruined the service. Microsoft simply doesn't know how to make profit out of AI because it is not profitable for anyone right now.

Google Brain founder Andrew Ng said that AGI was "overhyped," and Mistral CEO Arthur Mensch said that AGI was a "marketing move".
