There's a massive difference between piracy/copyright at a small scale for personal use or creative purposes and the wealthiest companies in the world devouring copyrighted materials and then selling it back to us.
Actually both fit into the same category of "defending individuals from massive conglomerates". Either being sued into oblivion for sharing content or having your personal IP ripped off by companies with enough lawyers for them to get away with it.
Protections for individuals, restrictions on big business. Seems to align greatly with the modern socialist M.O.
- Der_Einzige 2mo agoThis is why modern socialism is bankrupt. It does NOT change with scale. You ignored my part about how all socialists should call for the immediate open-sourcing of all closed models. Standing in the way of mass proliferation and dissemination of this technology is about as anti-socialist as it gets. Gatekeepers deserve no room for justification.
- ImPleadThe5th 2mo agoSocialism is about making the government work for people and protecting individuals from corporate greed. If using AI (open source or otherwise) is going to require stealing water from or increasing energy demand on already stretched communities then AI isn't worth it. No AI until it serves everyone equally and without sacrifices. To me that's a more consistent stance than yours.
