    Nothing is sacred, and there is no honor among thieves.

    The ruling class only seek to exploit. They took away the trees and charged us for the fruit. They took away the streams and sold us back the water.

    Capitalism HATES free things and sharing of value because it directly hurts their own bottom lines. If a village is sharing a hammer then they wont buy a new one until that one breaks, but if you alienate everyone from their neighbors and nobody trusts anybody and nobody shares anything…well now you can sell hammers to everyone.

    Point is, keep an eye out for contributions to open source projects being labeled as terrorism or something.

    Terrible analogy.

    The library everyone built is still there, free of charge for everyone to use.

    What AI companies have built is an assistant who has photographic memory and has read everything in the library.

    You’re still free to use the library to find what you want, but the library is not using the Dewey decimal system.

    You’re also free to build your own knowledge base using the information from the library if you want to, and charge for access or give it away for free.

      And tells you to eat rocks and glue.

          Yeah, that’s my point. Not sure why you think “it will mindlessly regurgitate whatever it reads” is supposed to be a defense.

            The point is that that’s what’s in the library.

            No one ever said it doesn’t “mindlessly regurgitate what it reads”.

              Lots of people have said that it’s a great assistant because of how much it’s read.

              Lots of people think it’s infallible.

              Lots of people even think it’s fucking sentient.

                Lots of people are morons.

                Lots of people think you should wash raw chicken with dish soap before you cook it.

                Lots of people think lots of stupid things.
