- Dona Sarkar (former Microsoft) says a company repurposed one of her AI frameworks — known for punny names like #DoTheThing — for its customers and lead generation without permission or credit.
- The company now claims "we created this together," and she is scheduled to speak at a conference the company organizes where they'll present her work as their own.
- She doesn't want to bail on the audience but is asking the community for advice on how to handle it, saying she won't share anything original in her keynote.
