Microsoft To Increase Its OpenAI Stake

In addition to the $1B Microsoft already invested in OpenAI, it's tossing in another $10B, giving the startup, with no real revenue, a valuation of $23B, and also giving Microsoft almost half ownership of OpenAI.

It's a bit more complicated than you think. In certain things MS has partnered with Google such as the standard that tags data within html code. They both had got fed up with the standards associations.

Why is this significant? Well AI depends on such data searches within html code.

@DeWayfarer I am not really sure what your comment is about.

There's really no co-dependencies between AI and data searches within a web page, although data collected from a web page, can be searched.
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@Northwest how it is formated is very significant. A standard ( in particular to this partnership) makes such searches quicker for even non AI search algorithms.

Heck google was throwing hints left and right to even sites like this. Reformate your structure or else we won't search it. Sites like this depend on the referrals google gives out!

Make it a partnership with MS it's a sites life that we're talking about.

@DeWayfarer Still not following. A <meta> tag is a decades old standard. There's nothing new here. What's where you look for data. Nothing to do with OpenAI.
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@Northwest not that at all. This is formatting of data within html's css code.

BTW it does have everything to do with Python which used in particular with Google's AI.
Northwest · M
@DeWayfarer If we're talking css, this has nothing to do with the formatting using css. A <meta> header is a tag inside the <header> tag, not the body of the web page, where css is applied to specific tagged sections.

css, however, has nothing to with the topic, and that would be OpenAI.
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@Northwest yes it does. Sorry I can't make it clearer. Mostly because I just came across this only a month ago. Google is using AI to search all code.

I don't really think you know what this is about, and NO, css and what's inside the <header> tag, has nothing to do with AI. HTML has about as much to do with AI, as butterflies have to do with solar flares.
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@Northwest no! Css is used throughout html. And the tags involve tables of data.

CSS is [b][i][u]APPLIED[/u][/i][/b] to HTML by the browser. It is NOT used by HTML. These are two separate things, and while there is a <table> tag, and that <table> tag is NOT a <meta> tag, it has absolutely nothing to do with AI.

@Northwest this is not what the user sees! It's hiden. In particular with how to tag data better for search engines only, Search engines like Google use AI.

You're now having a conversation with yourself, nothing to do with the topic at hand.

Not to mention that CSS has nothing to do with AI, and that CSS and HTML are the same thing. It would be like saying that looking at your wardrobe, will enable me to diagnose whether you have cancer. Wardrobe = CSS, your body = HTML

@Northwest as I said I know I'm not being clear! Just that it's very significant that Google, MS and others have partnered up for this to form their own standard. That is my point.

The entire world HAS to agree on basic HTML standards. There are international working groups, that have been around for decades. I've participated in these meetings. People discuss, then vote, then they publish and then web client providers implement.

There's nothing significant about Microsoft and Google working as part of the same committees.

@Northwest since when has MS EVER followed even w3c standards? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Since the web came into existence.

@Northwest then you never coded in 1990s like I have! It's why if you look into this sites code that brower versions, even mobile phone versions are determined! And that's right on this very page!

Yes, this is called meta data, and that part has absolutely nothing to do with page contents, or anything you write into you page. Let me help you out, this is some data I copied from one of my apps' database:

[quote]Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/103.0.0.0 Safari/537.36
[/quote]

That's called the user_agent, and has nothing to do with your web site, it's about the BROWSER client you used to to connect to a site and that'a handled buy TCP/IP, not HTML. 🤣😂

This tells anyone looking at the user_agent, which once more, IS NOT part of the web page, that the client connected to the web site, using a device running a specific Mac OS, and what kind of a web client they're using.

@Northwest this pages code from the link tag:<link rel="preload" href="https://securepubads.g.doubleclick.net/tag/js/gpt.js" as="script" type="text/javascript" />


Note the highlighted iphone type.
Northwest · M
@DeWayfarer Jesus Christ man. This is Javascript code, NOT HTML code. It's checking to see what kind of mobile phone the code is running on, and will act accordingly, as different web clients may implement certain HTML features differently.

And this abofuckinglutely has NOTHING to do with AI.
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@Northwest I have said it twice previously that I'm sorry I can't not make it clear yet you still persist I don't know what I'm talking about.

You are the one that's changing the subject by persisting I don't don't know!

Third time I Am SORRY I CAN'T MAKE IT CLEARER! 🤷🏻‍♂️
Northwest · M
@DeWayfarer [quote]you still persist I don't know what I'm talking about.[/quote]

It's because you don't know what you're talking about, and I've shown you, every step of the way.
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@Northwest no, you absolutely have not!

Yet that is beside the point. You can't seem to even agree to disagree! It's you that keeps on wanting to insult others.

I don't question you simply because I do want to get along with you!

Look, not one thing you said here, in addition to being wrong, has one thing to do with AI. I've given you enough leeway here, but if you can't stick to the topic, don't post.
