“but #llms stole the contributions of developers without giving back attribution” ok fine let me put a 10M lines long copyright attribution file in there like every company building on top of opensource does and bury it in a menu somewhere so that no one ever reads it.
“They’re making profits off of the commons” yo you know what _every_ data center out there is running on? How much every ad-ridden data-harvesting layoff-rabid corporation crucially relies on… GPLd software of all things? You know the xkcd.
Is that a status quo worth shaming people building their own software for? What are we doing…
For every company decimating their engineering team out there, there are now 9 engineers who can have the same impact. This is big tech cannibalizing itself. Zuckerberg and Elon for all intents and purposes have had “AGI” for decades. Let them have their stack of gpus and build weird ass jank 3D worlds and cringe on social media for all I care. I’ll be out here building software for myself and people I know.

@mnl The whole idea that digital assets can be "stolen" is just garbage.
