    it doesn't make any sense. linux and the gpl have no technical reason to exist. one could've just bought a copy of unix, right? oh, some people couldn't afford unix, or wanted a bit more control about their own computers? "well that's a you problem" or what. remember the bill gates borg memes in the 1990s? remember "linux is a cancer"? but now it's totally fine to get assimilated by anthropic, which is the new microsoft btw. hello mcfly, anybody home?

    @mntmn@mastodon.social what drives me nuts is this essence of "it's just a tool". That's such a limited, reductive, narrow minded etc. view on LLMs that I'm honestly not sure how one can say that in good conscience and with more than 5 minutes of thought.

    @mntmn@mastodon.social George Lucas too... these men find more value in presenting that they are ahead of the pack, than any value system or sparing a single post-colonial thought.
