Huh, people are extracting whole bunch of value in Python at expense of society. Should I blame Python or its contributor for it?

- wswope 2y agoI fundamentally disagree with the assertion that Python operates at the expense of society. Google is an exploitative monopoly. There’s been plenty of ink spilled on the subject to the point that I feel no obligation to repeat it. While it’s true that GVR is currently employed by Microsoft, the ecosystem of Python is far more anarchic and decentralized.
- radlad 2y agoI think he was probably making a comment about Python in regards to PyTorch and AI's energy usage. i.e. Whether a language exists "at the expense of society" probably depends less on who makes the language, and more on what you do with it.
