    I don’t have a problem with people talking about different open source technologies.

    But I do have a problem with this comm promoting the grift that “AI” exists.

    What exactly is this post about? Chat bots? Image/video processing? Content generation?

    None of this stuff is “AI”. Please don’t label it as such. It’s grifter nonsense.



  • Piracy still gives them a platform to justify their surveillance.

    It’s a bullshit justification and they would be surveilling anyway. People shouldn’t base their actions on how dishonest, exploitative capitalists will portray it.

    The only correct take is a full boycott

    False. There is no such thing as a “correct take” much less a single correct viewpoint. There are many valid means to resist capitalism. Piracy is generally better than boycotting because it’s easier and requires no sacrifice. Thus it is far more likely to be widely adopted, as we’ve already seen. Many many people are already pirating compared to some imaginary boycott.
