What they believe
-
Microsoft’s voluntary exit offer is a bet on productivity, not a response to Covid bloat or, yet, to AI.
It’s no to Covid and not-yet for AI. That leaves one last rationale… the company is more productive than ever, and it is betting it can go much further.

The internet will come out of the wave of AI-driven attacks safer but less open.
He is right. It will get worse before it gets better. And the internet that comes out the other side will be safer, and less open, than the one we built.

Open-weight models are not, for now, the main culprit in AI-driven cyberattacks; closed models are used too.
So are the open models to blame? Not right now. Plenty of evidence points to closed models being used by bad actors in attacks.

What is a korrent?
A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at korrents.com.
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said. The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
