This ludditism shit is the death drive externalized.

You'd forsake an amazing future based on copes like the precautionary principle or worse yet, a belief that work is good and people must be forced into it.

The tears of butthurt scientists, or artists who are automated out of existence because they refused to leverage or use AI systems to enhance themselves will be delicious.

The only reason that these companies aren't infinitely better than what Aaron Swartz tried to do was that they haven't open accessed everything. Deepseek is pretty close (sans the exact dataset), and so is Mistral and apparently Meta?

Y'all talked real big about loving "actual" communism until it came for your intellectual property, now you all act like copyright trolls. Fuck that!
