I'm thinking about the freedom fighters in Central America I met last year who told me all about the ways they were using free software to fight colonialism and oppression. It was truly some of the most amazing and inspiring work I've ever seen.
Made a (shortsighted) joke to one of them that's she's lucky she's not having to deal with the AI bubble there. She said very seriously "It's just one more way you're oppressing us".
So ya, that's what I'm most worried about.
