Out of interest, what about open weight models?

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.

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.

*Costing billions, not worth billions. There is a difference.

Those ai data centres, etc, may cost someone or something a gazillion billion, but they sure ain't worth it.

I recorded and copyrighted a WAV of myself farting once, and now I hear it everywhere. Fuck AI firms.

It’s not weird, it’s capitalism!!

It's not even slightly weird. It's how every industry has worked outside of the humanities.

You just crossposted ai slop to fuck_ai

Weird is not even remotely the correct word. $$$

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.
