Reading this I hear The Roots playing The Seed 2.0[1] in my mind.

It’s a wild thought to think that of all the things that will remain on this earth after you’re gone, it’ll be your GPL contributions reconstituting themselves as an LLM’s hallucinations.

I'm sure you'll feel that way so long as you have an income.

Taken to a hallucinated but logical conclusion, we might define a word such as "cene" to riff off of "meme" and "gene".

The c is for code. If adopted we could spend forever arguing how the c is pronounced and whether the original had a cedilla, circonflex or rhymes with bollocks, which seems somehow appropriate. Everyone uses xene instead. x is chi but most people don't notice.

Me too, and I use LLMs often for personal and professional work. Knowing that colleagues are burning through $700/day worth of tokens, and a small fraction of those tokens were likely derived from my work while I get made redundant is a bit shite.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. The cannibalistic $trillion companies profit from it all and no one opted in.

There are also people who want to be eaten by a literal cannibal. I say, no thanks.

Me too! I'm glad I'm not the only one.

I can't eat good feelings

a comforting thought but I have bills to pay

You feel good that you got to contribute to these parasitic capitalists?
