I've been having a crisis of conscience. Were open source and fair use destined to metastasize into the current "A" "I" hype? Please keep explaining how it's OK to be critical of both "artificial" "intellicence" and "intellectual" "property". I need encouragement in times like these.

in reply to Lorraine Lee • • •open source is for the people, and there are practices of enforcing licenses which defend the openness and ensure that it is used fairly, and that contributors are credited, it builds careers, it teaches people.
LLMs and other generative AI isn't open source, it isn't a defense of knowledge or labor, and it's built on ripping off the works of humans without ever paying the toll or agreeing to any licenses -- it actively harms careers, and makes largely makes us stupid
