Yeah I’m not for UBI that much, and don’t see anyone working towards global VAT. I was comparing that worry about AI that is gonna destroy humanity is not possible, it’s just scifi.

It replaced content writers, replacing digital artists, replacing programmers. In a sense they fire unexeprieced ones because ai speeds up those with more experience.
Fair point, but AI is part of it, I mean it exists in capitalist system. This AI Singularity apocalypse is like not gonna happen in 99%, AI within capitalism will affect us badly.
just wait until you hear about humans.txt, it really exitst here
Ah, AI doesn’t pose as danger in that way. It’s danger is in replacing jobs, people getting fired bc of ai, etc.

Don’t know who is ignorant here. Open source is bad term to be used, coopted by big tech, end of story.
Yeah, I could put more thought into this meme, but it is what it is. When I get time I’ll remake it.
So I guess my question to you use, how does a corporation making money from something it shares with the public negatively impact you?
For example email,now it’s very dificult to self host email and not get caught with spam filter dictated by big tech. Entire internet really, before we had personal websites, community forums then reddit came and take over the forums making profit of off it. There are many examples. It is true that this techno landscape now is mirror image of relations we have in our society, rich getting richer and exploint poorer, in most banal sense. In linux they put/or are putting in subscription system to unlock cpu cores only if you pay, even when you bought processor.
Look around more and you can find a lot of other examples, one more is EEE(embrace, extend, extinguis) of xmpp.
People seem to appreciate companies very much, even getting glad that “great meta is using activitypub with threads and we are all gonna be happy”, in reality we won’t. They will just co-opt fediverse and EEE it.
Me personally am on most FOSS hardvare and software I can be on this moment. If I find time to make feaseble to use more FOSS stuff and get away from all the corpos I will do that for sure. But only me, and small ammount of people going that way is not the solution. It has to be mass movement to ditch the corpos once and for all.
Just to clarify, this post is not meant to glorify startups! Startups also have CEO and it’s same as first line in the meme.
This post is meant to start a discussion and to highlight the effects big tech having on FOSS.
It’s aginst big tech not aginst FOSS!
I actually like FOSS alot, I don’t want big tech taking it over and dictating how things should be done.
I don’t want FOSS helping out google, meta, microsoft etc. FOSS is meant for society and people not for companies to make more profit and in process of that destroying society and exploiting people.
EDIT: Just to add, I’m aginst using term open source which is taken over by comapnies and companies use it to wash themself.
Yes, open source is bad term to be used. It only helps corporations and big tech to wash out, it’s like osswashing.
i’d argue its better for software to max foss license like AGPL, not bsd that can be taken out by companies
