Well, I'm not an AI, but considering the examples I'd say "get multi 
billion sponsoring". The fact that the AI doesn't pick up on such 
glaring differences IMHO says enough. One could argue about the 
usefulness of AI, but opinion pieces are not one of its strengths.

The AI graciously compares projects where paid employees of big tech 
companies do the grunt work with grassroot projects like FPC and Lazarus.

That's also the problem with the time based releases suggestion. That is 
another hand-me-down policy of such projects to ours, and the 
circumstances are vastly different.
