@cyno My understanding of the situation is a little different. The dbzer0 crew don't characterize themselves as ancaps, but as real anarchists. They're interested in other anarcho-adjacent tech subjects like file-sharing "piracy". The last time I looked, they were taking the sort of contrarian view of AI that champions local models and open source - a figleaf if you ask me, and one they can't hide behind if they're now embracing shit like ChatGPT. The Nivenly connection is all about a grant the admin took, to build... an AI-based moderation tool for the threadiverse @violetmadder
